Odunpazarı Modern Museum (OMM)
Odunpazarı, Eskişehir
A contemporary art museum opened in 2019, designed with wooden beams by the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma.
Its story
The Odunpazarı Modern Museum was founded on the initiative of the Eskişehir-born architect and collector Erol Tabanca and opened to visitors in September 2019. Kengo Kuma, who designed the building, learned that the name Odunpazarı (Wood Market) comes from the timber trade and conceived the building as stacked wooden boxes, taking care to match the scale of the traditional houses with bay windows. The museum has a collection of works by contemporary Turkish and international artists as well as changing temporary exhibitions. The skylight and wooden texture of the interior make the building itself part of the visit. Thanks to its location among the historic houses, it is easily added to the Odunpazarı route.
