Ahmet Piriştina City Archives and Museum

The City Archives and Museum holds an extensive collection of historical documents, photographs, manuscripts, and official records documenting İzmir's municipal development.

The building served as a fire station from 1932 to 2001 before being transformed into Turkey's first municipal archives and city museum in 2004.

The museum collects and preserves local artifacts, written materials, and visual documents that represent the social and urban evolution of İzmir through generations.

Researchers and visitors can access both physical exhibits and digital archives through the museum's website at apikam.org.tr, with public transportation available via T2 line.

The museum received the Archive and Collection Museum Award from the Historical Cities Association in 2018 for its preservation of municipal heritage.
