Story

The Konya Ethnography Museum, situated in Meram, preserves the rich ethnographic heritage of Konya, one of Anatolia's favored commercial and spiritual centers. In this city through which the Silk Road passed, weaving arts, ceramic art, home furnishings, and handicraft items surviving from the Seljuk and Ottoman periods are displayed in striking fashion. The richness of color and pattern in the region's distinctive Konya carpets, the kilims woven on ancient looms, and the spiritual works belonging to the Mevlevi order in particular form the heartbeat of the museum. The interior arrangements reflecting Konya's traditional residential architecture carry visitors to another era; ceramic landings, an inked reading nook, and the connection to a hearth-warmed room offer a distinctive synthesis. During your visit to the museum, you can explore Konya's social history in depth by joining a guided tour.
