Bursa Energy Museum, Technology museum in Bursa, Turkey.
The Bursa Energy Museum is a technology museum housed in a former factory building and displays machines, equipment, and systems for producing power from various sources. Exhibits cover thermal power plants, hydroelectric dams, solar panels, and wind turbines.
The building served as the power plant for Merinos Woolen Fabric Factory starting in 1938 until it closed in 2004. This long operational history demonstrates its importance to Turkey's industrial development.
The museum reflects Turkey's shift toward modern industry by displaying imported machinery that powered the nation's factories during the early Republic. Visitors see how energy technology shaped the country's economic transformation.
Plan to spend enough time exploring the exhibits thoroughly, as the museum contains many technical details that reward closer inspection. The location is easy to reach and signage throughout helps with navigation.
The original steam boilers, coal furnaces, turbines, and generators remain positioned exactly where they operated in the former factory. This intact arrangement lets visitors understand real industrial power generation rather than viewing reproductions or diagrams.
