What looks like an Ottoman ‘konak’ (large residential house) is in fact a former (electric) transformer station, whose concrete core is hidden behind a traditional wooden exterior. The station’s large rooms were remodeled into modern museum galleries, while the ground floor now houses a theater hall, which is adapted for the Karagöz shadow plays and seats up to 100 spectators. The museum opened in 1998.
