Located in Topraklık Mahallesi in Konya, Koyunoğlu Museum was founded by İzzet Koyunoğlu, who belonged to one of Konya 's long-established families. He started collecting works in an old and typical Konya house since 1913. In addition to the archaeological artifacts collected from Konya and its surroundings, books, ethnographic artifacts and natural historical objects are among the main works of the museum. He donated his museum, to Konya Municipality in 1973. The house was taken under protection, its surroundings were expropriated, and a modern building was built. The museum was reorganized and opened for the second time on February 2, 1984 under the name of Konya Metropolitan Municipality İzzet Koyunoğlu Museum and Library. I visited it only once, and remember seeing lots of typical collectors objects and some treasures, as well as a fine example of an old houses Ottoman interior. This is one of some pictures of that visit.
