Mersin Devlet Resim Heykel Museum ve Gallery

The building, which was built in the 19th century, was first used as a residence, then as a hotel, and its name has been called Gulnar Hotel for a long time. It was expropriated by the Governorship in 1997. It was restored by the Ministry of Culture between 1997-2001 and opened as Mersin State Painting and Sculpture Museum and Gallery. The building, which serves as the State Painting and Sculpture Museum and Gallery today, was built of cut stone. The overhangs were made by the vineyard technique. The ground floor of the museum building is used as an image gallery, the first floor as a museum, and the second floor as an office and meeting hall. It is open to visitors between 08-17, except Sundays. Source: Archive of Mersin Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism.
