Yılmaz Büyükerşen Wax Museum
Yılmaz Büyükerşen Balmumu Heykeller Müzesi
A wax museum whose figures were sculpted by Eskişehir's mayor, featuring Turkish historical figures and world celebrities.
The museum is named after Yılmaz Büyükerşen, the long-serving mayor, who is himself a sculptor. Most of its more than 200 wax figures were made by his own hands. They range from Ottoman sultans and Atatürk to Turkish film stars and world leaders, arranged in historical scenes. The museum suits families and visitors interested in Turkish history. A visit takes about an hour. It is located in the Odunpazarı historic district and can be combined with the modern art museum.
