Removed from Unnamed collection

Nestled in the heart of the city, the museum offers a captivating journey through the medieval Anatolian and Seljuk Civilization. Designed with a thematic flair, it invites visitors to explore two distinct sections. One shines a spotlight on the splendor of the Seljuk era, showcasing areas like 'Seljuk City,' 'architecture,' 'art,' 'science,' 'clothing,' and the influence of the Seljuks in Kayseri and Anatolia. The other section highlights the healing arts, featuring intriguing exhibits on 'diseases,' 'treatment methods and instruments,' 'scholars,' 'medicine,' 'water and health,' 'music treatment,' and 'color treatment.'

Beyond just historical artifacts, the museum embraces modern technology with interactive displays that make learning about the Seljuk Civilization an immersive experience. Visitors can listen, experiment, and engage with the past through these innovative tools. For younger guests, the children's room offers cartoons and games to spark a love for history and Seljuk culture. The museum also hosts concerts and cultural events, adding a lively dimension to its educational offerings.

Fun fact: Kayseri, where the museum is located, is known for its stunning Mount Erciyes and is a fantastic destination for skiing enthusiasts in winter. The city's rich culinary scene, especially its famous mantı (Turkish dumplings), is a must-try for food lovers.
