About This Museum

You might not expect to find a world-class photography museum tucked away on a quiet street in Odunpazarı, but that's the charm of this place. It's dedicated to the life's work of Osman Yaşar Tanaçan, a man who spent decades capturing the soul of Eskişehir and beyond through his lens. Stepping inside feels less like entering a sterile gallery and more like wandering through a visual diary of the 20th century. The walls whisper with stories, from intimate family portraits to sweeping landscapes that show how much our city has changed.

Collection Highlights

Look for the stunning black and whites of old Porsuk River bridges and the vibrant, almost cinematic street scenes from the 1970s. His portrait series of local artisans, their faces etched with years of work, are particularly moving.

Visitor Information

It's easy to find just off Kemal Zeytinoğlu Caddesi. Pop in for a quiet hour; it's a wonderful escape from the bustle outside.

Architecture & Building

Housed in a beautifully restored Ottoman-era house, it has the classic timber-frame structure and a distinctive overhanging upper story you see all over this historic district.
