Gazhane Museum, Industrial heritage museum in Hasanpaşa Mahallesi, Turkey.
The Gazhane Museum occupies a former gasworks building and displays exhibits about science and technology in expansive halls. The spaces convey the weight of industrial history while modern displays connect the past with contemporary innovation.
The building began as a gasworks in 1892 during the Ottoman period and supplied coal gas to Anatolia's side of Istanbul for generations. Its closure in 1993 ended over a century of industrial operation.
The museum contains a library with 10,000 books, two theater halls seating 430 people combined, and hosts regular exhibitions focusing on science and technology.
The museum offers guided tours through its exhibition areas and is easily reached by public transportation in the Kadıköy district. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the spaces are expansive and require walking to explore fully.
This industrial landmark was saved by local residents who prevented its demolition and led to its rebirth as a cultural venue in 2021. The transformation demonstrates how community action can turn forgotten industrial spaces into living centers.
