A museum in the Antep Mevlevi Lodge, built in 1638, displaying Mevlevi culture and foundation works.

Safety warning

The building is in the historic city center affected by the 2023 earthquakes; it may be partly closed for repairs, so check the current situation before visiting.

Its story

The building was built in 1638 as the Antep Mevlevi Lodge (Mevlevihane); in later years it was used for different purposes, such as a school, a depot and an office. After repairs launched by the Gaziantep Regional Directorate of Foundations in 2006, it opened on 7 May 2007 as the Museum of Mevlevi Culture and Foundation Works. The complex, made up of two buildings, displays the garments, musical instruments and ritual objects of the Mevlevi order, as well as manuscript Qurans, calligraphy panels, carpets and foundation works. The calm atmosphere of the courtyard offers a short break from the crowds of the historic bazaar right next to it.
