The Osman Hamdi Bey Evi Museum is situated in the Eskihisar neighborhood of Gebze district in Kocaeli. This two-story house, where the renowned Osman Hamdi Bey spent the summer months of his final years, has been transformed into a museum that has been serving the public since 1987.
Collection and Exhibits
The museum houses a vast collection of Osman Hamdi Bey's personal belongings, family photographs, and full-scale reproductions of his paintings. One of the highlights of the museum is a room on the upper floor where visitors can see a three-dimensional representation of the moment when Osman Hamdi Bey was creating his painting "Çiçek Düzenleyen Kız" (The Girl Arranging Flowers).
Establishment of the Museum
The building was expropriated and converted into a museum in 1987, becoming the 138th museum of Turkey. Osman Hamdi Bey, in his youth, purchased a piece of land in Eskihisar, a popular summer resort of the time, and had a mansion constructed in 1884 according to his own design.
