Baksi Museum, Contemporary art museum in Pazaryolu, Turkey.
Baksı Museum is an art museum in Pazaryolu spread across extensive grounds with buildings for exhibitions, workshops, a library, and conference spaces. The site also includes a Warehouse Museum where additional rotating exhibitions are displayed throughout the year.
The museum was founded in 2010 by citizens without state support, and two years later an additional exhibition hall was added to the site. This growth shows how the community backed the project from the beginning.
The museum blends contemporary art with traditional handcrafts, and you can see workshops where local women gather to weave and create textiles. This work keeps alive skills that have been passed down through generations in the region.
You can explore both the main building and the Warehouse Museum to view permanent collections and rotating exhibitions. It is worth allowing time to wander through all areas and take in the surrounding landscape.
The name Baksı comes from a Kyrgyz Turkish word referring to a shaman or spiritual healer. This reflects how the museum sees itself as a cultural healing force for the region.
