Tire City Museum, Municipal museum in Tire, Turkey
The Tire City Museum is a municipal museum in Turkey housed in a former municipal building at Cumhuriyet Square. It displays exhibits about local history alongside a collection of traditional crafts and outdoor vehicle displays spanning multiple exhibition areas.
The building was constructed in 1955 as a municipal administrative center and later converted into a cultural institution in 2014. This transformation reflects a deliberate effort to preserve and present the region's local heritage to visitors.
The collections showcase traditional crafts that have been part of this region's way of life, including wickerwork, copper work, and felt making. These techniques reflect the practical skills and trade knowledge that locals still value today.
The museum is easily accessible from the town center and is open daily for visitors to walk through at their own pace. Plan time to view both the indoor galleries and the outdoor display area with vehicles.
The museum was recognized by the Historical Towns Union with an award in 2014 for its role in preserving local heritage, marking its significance beyond the town itself. This recognition helped establish it as an important cultural venue in the broader region.
