Antalya Araba Müzesi

About Antalya Araba Müzesi

Antalya Araba Muzesi (Antalya Car Museum), also called the Nostalgic Vehicles Museum, is a municipal museum run by Kepez Municipality inside DokumaPark, the former Antalya cotton spinning and weaving factory in Kepez. The factory was founded in the 1950s and stopped work in 2003; the municipality has since turned the site into a park and museum campus, and the car museum was the third museum opened there. The museum occupies the factory's restored cotton warehouse, about 2,800 square metres. According to the Ministry of National Education's out-of-school learning profile, around 75 vehicles are on show after seven years of collecting by the municipality, including a replica of the Devrim car, an Anadolu car, old buses, taxis, official cars, motorcycles, aircraft, a tram and farm vehicles, presented as a social history of everyday motoring in Turkey. The hall has an entrance and two wings and can take groups of 70 to 100 people. The same profile lists the museum as open Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 20:00, and closed on Mondays. DokumaPark also holds the Anadolu Toy Museum, the Bir Zamanlar Antalya museum, a modern art gallery and the Bir Bakista Turkiye open-air miniature museum.
