About Bayrakbilim ve Türk Bayrakları Müzesi

The Vexillology and Turkish Flags Museum of Dokuz Eylül University is described by the university as the first national flag museum in Turkey. It opened on 9 September 2020 in the Eylül Köşk, a mansion on the university's Dokuzçeşmeler campus in Buca. Four separate halls display the flags and symbols of historic Turkic states and of world civilisations. The museum also has an archive section set up to record and preserve the past, a children's workshop where young visitors can spend time, and a small library for visitors and flag enthusiasts. The university plans to open the archive to researchers around the world through an open archive scheme. Visiting: Visit İzmir lists the museum as open on weekdays from 09:00 to 17:00. On Saturdays it accepts groups that have booked in advance, and it is closed on Sundays.
