Located in Yozgat Merkez İstanbulluoğlu Neighborhood, the mansion was built in 1871 and was used as a residence for many years, and served as a “Girls Art School” for a while and a “Tekel Warehouse” for a while.

Archeological artifacts are exhibited in the lower floor halls of the museum, and ethnographic artifacts are exhibited in the upper floor halls. In the upper floor rooms, rare examples of 19th century painting are noteworthy.
