Emine Göğüş Culinary Museum
Emine Göğüş Mutfak Müzesi
A small museum on the food culture of Gaziantep, the 'City of Gastronomy,' showcasing traditional cookware, ingredients, and the preparation of signature dishes.
Located in an old stone house near the castle, this is Turkey's first culinary museum. It introduces the food traditions behind Gaziantep's UNESCO City of Gastronomy title, including traditional cookware, spices, pistachios, the making of grilled meats and nut-filled baklava, and the banquet customs of weddings and festivals. The museum is small, and a visit takes about 30 to 45 minutes. It is a good place to learn about local cuisine before a meal. Admission is inexpensive.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun about 09:00–17:00
