Suna & İnan Kıraç Kaleiçi Museum

This guide to the Kıraç Kaleiçi Museum starts at an 1863 Karamanlica inscription on a church door in Antalya's old town, left behind when the city's Greek Christian community was relocated in the 1923 population exchange. It follows Suna and İnan Kıraç, heirs to Turkey's Koç industrial dynasty, as they restored the abandoned Church of Saint George and a neighboring townhouse in the early 1990s. Inside, wax figures reenact Ottoman domestic rituals like a henna night and a groom's shaving ceremony, while the church holds a collection of glazed Çanakkale earthenware beneath a sky-blue ceiling.
