About
Located within the Altınköy Open-Air Museum, the Ethnography Museum houses a significant collection that showcases Türkiye’s cultural history and rich heritage. Traditional garments from various provinces such as Ankara, Bolu, İzmir, Muğla, Mardin, Hakkâri, and Gaziantep are displayed on mannequins, offering visitors a visual journey through regional attire. The museum not only presents clothing but also immerses visitors in the lifestyle of past eras through carefully recreated room scenes furnished with authentic household items. A dedicated section on Seğmen culture provides insight into the meaning and significance of this tradition. In this area, visitors can view traditional Seğmen outfits as well as cultural elements that reflect Anatolian heritage, such as “Ankara Seğmenleri” (Ankara’s Seğmen Warriors) and “Ankara Gelinleri” (Ankara Brides). Through this rich collection, visitors gain a deeper understanding of Anatolia’s cultural wealth and traditional ways of life.
