Bilecik Museum

Bilecik Museum (Turkish: Bilecik Museum) is a museum in Bilecik, Turkey.
An ancient Ottoman building - demolished during the Turkish War of Independence in the 1920s - once stood on the site of the museum (at 40 ° 08′37 ″ N 29 ° 58′55 ″ E). After the liberation of Bilecik, a new building was constructed, for use as a court house. In 1997 it was handed over to the Ministry of Culture. Following restoration work, the former court house became Bilecik Museum in 2006. Up to 2010 it was a sub unit of Söğüt Museum. In 2010 it became an independent museum.
