A museum founded to raise earthquake awareness in Adapazarı, which was heavily damaged in the 1999 Marmara earthquake.
Its story
The earthquake of August 17, 1999 made Adapazarı one of the worst-affected cities; thousands of people lost their lives in the city and many buildings collapsed. The Earthquake Museum was founded so that this painful experience would not be forgotten and to build disaster awareness in new generations. The exhibits include photographs and documents showing the effects of the earthquake, and educational installations. Interactive sections such as the earthquake simulation are especially instructive for student groups. It is in the city center, close to the Sakarya Museum.
