Locorooms
About This Museum
People don't just stumble upon Locorooms; they make a pilgrimage to this unassuming street in Mersin for a dose of pure, unfiltered nostalgia. It feels less like a traditional museum and more like stepping into the collective memory of a nation, where every carefully arranged room tells a story. You'll find yourself smiling at a vintage radio that probably broadcast historic news, or running a hand over the worn wood of a mid-century dining set. It’s an intimate, deeply personal journey that connects you to the everyday lives of generations past.
Collection Highlights
The exhibits aren't behind velvet ropes but staged in full-room dioramas—a meticulously recreated 1970s Turkish living room complete with anatolian carpets and patterned textiles, a classic coffee house setup with copper cezves, and a child's bedroom filled with now-antique toys. The attention to detail is what captivates you; it's all so lived-in and authentic.
Visitor Information
Tucked away on 1939 Sk. in Yenişehir, it's the kind of place you have to seek out, but that's part of its charm. With near-perfect reviews, visitors consistently mention the warm, knowledgeable staff who are clearly passionate about the collection.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a converted residential building, the exterior is deceptively simple—it's the kind of sturdy, multi-story concrete structure you'd walk right past. But inside, the high ceilings and the layout of former apartments provide the perfect canvas for its evocative period rooms.
