Adatepe Olive Oil Museum, Agricultural museum in Ayvacık, Turkey.
The Adatepe Olive Oil Museum displays tools and machinery from different periods used for olive harvesting and oil production. The collection shows the various stages of work from picking fruit to creating the finished product.
The museum opened in 2001 and occupies a former soap manufacturing building. The choice of location reflects how agricultural production in this region shifted and developed over time.
The museum demonstrates how central olive oil remains to local farming and daily meals in this region. The displays show methods that generations of farmers here have relied upon.
