Bursa City Museum
Bursa Kent Müzesi
A city museum in a former courthouse, covering Bursa's history from its founding to the present, along with its traditional crafts.
The city museum is beside Republic Square in the centre. It occupies a courthouse built in 1904 and uses three floors of galleries to present Bursa's history, folk customs, and traditional crafts such as silk and knifemaking. It recreates an old street of workshops, and its displays are clear and include English captions. Admission is cheap, and it is closed on Mondays. It is a good first stop on arriving in Bursa to get a sense of the city. Outside, in the square, stands the statue of Atatürk.
