Miniatur Amasya

The Miniatur Amasya is located within the almshouse which constitutes part of the Kulliyyah of Beyazid II. The 1/150 scaled model, placed in a 300 square meter hall, represents Amasya as it was almost a hundred years ago. Unlike those which merely display the architecture and layout of a city, the model city which is fashioned after a photograph taken in 1914, is designed so as to reflect Amasya as a living city. As the Yeşilırmak runs sluggishly through the city, the train departs from the station once again just like it has done while carrying thousands of people in the years since. Phaetons roam the city as the day turns into night displaying a different beauty at both stages of the day. The vaulted ceiling, designed to reflect the night sky with shooting stars and moonlight gives the visitors a feeling of being in the open air.

Visitors go back in time and experience Amasya as it was a hundred years ago in the company of an atmosphere created with pleasent tunes and the sounds of the city along with the color and light displays.

The museum is directed by the Special Provincial Administration and can be visited for a reasonable entrance fee. Visitors are allowed to take photographs and record videos of their visit.
