Bayazhan Gaziantep City Museum
Bayazhan Gaziantep Kent Müzesi
A city museum housed in a 19th-century caravanserai, using multimedia displays to present Gaziantep's crafts and folk traditions.
Bayazhan is a 19th-century stone caravanserai that has been restored and converted into the Gaziantep City Museum. It displays traditional crafts such as copperware, mother-of-pearl inlay, kutnep, and leather shoes, and uses wax figures and videos to recreate folk scenes including weddings, bathhouses, and kitchens. The courtyard has a café and a quiet atmosphere. Admission is very inexpensive, a visit takes about one hour, and the museum is usually closed on Mondays.
