The Suna & İnan Kıraç Foundation founded this museum with the aim of preserving traditional Turkish culture and customs as they were reflected throughout Antalya’s history and also of passing them on to future generations. The museum is located in two buildings designated as protected heritage monuments. The one is an orthodox church and the other a traditional Antalyan house. In their halls you can even see furniture, textiles, carpets and a superb Canakkale ceramics collection, and traditional everyday costumes aiming to the revival of 18 th and 19th century life in Antalya region as it was revealed through old photos.
