Hazeranlar Mansion Ethnography Museum
Merkez, Amasya
An Ottoman mansion built in 1865 in Yalıboyu, today visited as an ethnography museum and art gallery.
Its story
The mansion was built in 1865 by Defterdar (finance officer) Hasan Talat Efendi for his sister Hazeran Hanım. With its four-iwan, central-hall plan and its haremlik-selamlık (private and public) sections, it is one of the best-preserved examples of the traditional Amasya house. After restoration between 1979 and 1983, it opened as a museum in 1984. The upper floors display rooms reflecting daily life of the period, clothing, carpets and kilims, kitchenware and women's jewelry; the basement is used as an art gallery. Its location on the banks of the Yeşilırmak lets you view the river and the rock tombs from the windows.
