Cappadocia Art & History Museum — Attraction in Mustafapaşa Köyü

Visiting Cappadocia Art & History Museum has been a magical experience, both for me and my girlfriend. We stumbled upon this museum almost by accident while travelling Cappadocia by scooter, and it ended up being one of the most wholesome experiences we have ever had.

The art pieces allow you to travel through all of Turkey’s history, all while being exceptionally guided with a precise and thorough spoken description, provided by the owners, who are, overall, the greatest part of all the visit to the museum. The family who runs the museum is just incredible, the most wonderful people we have met in all our travels. They will welcome you and make you feel part not only of Turkey’s history, but of what lays behind the creation of such art pieces.

Thanks again for this incredible experience Selda, Serkan, Sinem and Sibel. We really hope to see you...

What a hidden treasure! We had an amazing personal tour of this unique museum during a visit to Mustafapasa. The contents comprise one woman's life work, which is the creation of dolls from completely natural materials with super intricate clothing and accessories that she made by hand. The dolls represent figures throughout the history of Turkey including real people as well as representations of what regular people from different eras looked like and did. You could easily spend hours going through all of the things to see, which also included dolls from around the world that have been donated to the museum. We also got to meet the artist herself who has been doing this work for more than 40 years. This was a really...

Really interesting place. If you want to visualize Ottoman history, this is definitely the place. The dolls on the 2nd floor are incredible. I can't imagine how long each one would take to make. The exhibits in the basement are also extremely interesting. We didn't expect to have a personalized tour, but Serkan, one of the museum staff, gave my husband and I a private tour in English. It was a unique experience and I have never been to a museum...
