Gaziantep Hamam Müzesi

The Hamam Museum is a thematic museum located in the Shahinbey district of Gaziantep province. It is a documentary private museum under the supervision of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

The Bath Museum was opened to the public in 1577 with the restoration of the Bath of Pasha, built by Lala Mustafa Pasha, in 2015 by the Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality.

The Gaziantep baths are located under the floor covering, unlike the classical bath architecture. When the stairs descend from the floor, they enter the cooling area, the first section of the museum.

The area that distinguishes the Gaziantep baths from others is the Gulletin's Miquea pool, a pool of heat where Jewish people enter and exit three times, in some cases for spiritual cleansing.

The museum collection is enriched with the depiction of the balm of the Ottoman traditional bath culture, including taquunias, copper bowls, incense, soaps, towels and vases, bath customs, tellak, natir, men's bath, groom's bath, bridal bath, lousa bath, bathroom nursery, eating drink and entertainment culture with sculptures.
