Tahtakuşlar Ethnography Museum, Private ethnographic museum in Balıkesir Province, Turkey.

The museum showcases traditional artifacts, household items, and cultural objects representing the daily lives of Oghuz Turks descendants in the region.

Founded in 1991 by retired teacher Alibey Kudar, the museum preserves the heritage of Tahtacı people, a community of Oghuz Turks living in Tahtakuşlar village.

The collection includes traditional furniture, clothing, rugs, tents, and ornaments that demonstrate the craftsmanship and customs of the local Tahtacı community.

Located 1.5 kilometers from Güre town, visitors can reach the museum by following the İzmir-Çanakkale highway D.550 through the Kazdağı mountain region.

The museum houses a 197-centimeter-long giant sea turtle shell and contains an art gallery featuring works from painter and sculptor Selim Turan.
