Bursa Living Culture Museum
This historical mansion, which is an example of 18th century traditional Turkish architecture, is an example of civil architecture that Hasan Eşref Efendi, who had leather tanneries in Bursa, had built for his family. It is known that after Hasan Eşref Efendi, his daughter Hacer Hanım lived here until her death in 1986. The mansion was restored and brought to Bursa as the Bursa Living Culture Museum in order to keep the values of Bursa alive, promote and transfer them to future generations. Objects and scenes used in traditional life are also presented to the audience in the museum, where the forgotten customs and traditions of Bursa's traditional life culture are explained with animations. In this three-storey wooden historical mansion, many subjects that reflect Bursa's life culture, from dowry tradition to circumcision customs, from hosting guests to pilgrims, are covered. Parts of the building are also used as activity areas with themes within the understanding of living museum.
