Sivrihisar Kilim Museum

Culture & art

Meet the stories woven into colour and pattern.

Town centre, Sivrihisar / Eskişehir

Opened in 2020 in a converted former municipal building, the Applied Kilim Museum combines textile displays with the transmission of weaving skills. The two-storey museum includes exhibition and weaving areas across approximately 600 square metres.

Kilim patterns also appear in the timber façade. Inside, enclosed display cases help protect the textiles, while traditional looms explain the practical side of weaving.

Fieldwork in Sivrihisar and nearby areas informed the collection. The museum introduces a kilim as both an object and a body of knowledge passed between generations.
