Akhisar Archeology and Ethnography Museum
The building, which was built as Ali Şefik Hospital in 1933, was transferred to the Ministry of National Education in the same year and served as Ali Şefik Secondary School until 1992. It was used as a Teacher's House between 1994-2007. The museum, which was decided to be the site of Akhisar Museum in 2006 and started to be repaired in 2007, was completed in 2011 and opened in 2012. Akhisar Museum consists of archeology and ethnographic artifacts in which 1451 artifacts are exhibited in 11 sections.
In the ethnography section of the museum, there are daily tools such as glass bowls, plates, pitchers, gas lamps used in the Ottoman Period and other daily use items, pistols and rifles, and swords of various sizes. In addition, local clothes and handcrafted carpets of the region are also exhibited. A part of the ethnography section was devoted to professions that lost their importance over time, and the shops belonging to these professions were revived with their appearance in the period they lived.
