Eskisehir Metropolitan Municipality Yilmaz Buyukersen Wax Sculpture Museum

The Museums District in Eskisehir is actually a very nice area and the museums themselves look impressive. However, as a foreign tourist, it was very difficult for me to understand anything during my visit. In almost none of the museums did the staff speak English. Because of this, I couldn’t really learn anything about the exhibitions or the history behind them. The only exception was at the Wax Museum, where a staff member named mr Amir helped me. He was very kind, smiling, and spoke good English. Thanks to him, that was the only museum where I could actually understand what I was seeing. Unfortunately, in all the other places I was completely lost. The one star I am giving is only because of Amir help and kindness.

This place runs by municipality however they charge extra for taking a photography (by professional photographer) with the sculptures in some of the area. This extra charge uses for education and scholarship of the girl students. It doesn’t bother you, it uses for good will. The sculptures are looking good and also, some of them exactly the same as its model (looking very real) If you visiting Eskişehir, you should see this place.

A lovely wax museum that shows prominent figures across modern Türkiye; e.g. politicians, media reporters, celebrities… etc. One can buy tickets at the counter. Once in, you can explore the various monuments and read about them. They offer audio headsets, too. The monuments are very well made, and look quite real. The place can get quite busy, and needs anywhere between 30-60 minutes to explore.

The eskiseher version of wax museum, alot of local heros followed by the statues of past heros and ottomans too. Very little amount of international personalities are there and in that section no photos are allowed. Do visit if your fan of favourite personalities of the country otherwise don’t be misled to find international artists or individuals’s waxes.

I had better experience when it was first opened. Still good place to visit on your way to Kursunlu Mosque or Odunpazari Houses. Wax sculptures of celebrities and historic people. Worth seeing 👍

It's a must see if you're visiting Eskişehir. Consists of a lot of famous figures of Turkey and all wax statutes are made by the city's mayor Yılmaz Büyükerşen. It's a bit crowded at the weekends. Entrance is also inexpensive, an ordinary ticket is 10 liras and students and older people 5 liras.

You will learn a lot about famous people of Turkey, current price (7.01.25) - 120tl
