Akşehir Nasreddin Hoca Archaeology and Ethnography Museum
Akşehir, Konya
A museum dedicated to Nasreddin Hoca, displaying archaeological and ethnographic works of the Akşehir area from the Neolithic to the Ottoman period.
Its story
The museum opened on 5 July 2007, as part of the Nasreddin Hoca Festival, in a historic mansion built in 1914 that belonged to a forensic doctor. The first floor displays objects and coins from the Neolithic, Chalcolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages and the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman periods. The second floor is devoted to ethnography; the re-creation of a local bride's room and the section devoted to Nasreddin Hoca stand out. It can be seen on the same visit as the Ulu Mosque opposite.
