Its story
The two-story building housing the museum is a traditional Laz house built in the 19th century as the home of the Osmanoğulları family of Hopa. Long left empty, the building was bought by Hopa Municipality in 2015, restored in 2016 with support from the Eastern Black Sea Development Agency and opened in 2017 as a Culture House and Museum on the initiative of businessman Ulvi Sinan Dişli. With its rough-hewn stone walls, wooden window frames and hipped roof, the building is an exhibit in itself. About 5000 objects made of clay, wood, glass, copper and iron, drawn from Dişli's collection and donations from institutions and local people, tell the story of everyday life in the region.
