English: I did not take note where this is from, a room contained many parts of local mosques.

Apart from some nice woodwork from mainly religious buildings and some good period rooms the museum has some magnificent cut glass windows that are hard to take a picture of, but when things go right, they are just great. I think.

In 2010 I was informed by a viewer: "The mansion which is reorganised as the Trabzon Museum was built by the Greek banker Kostaki Teophylaktos between 1889-1913 as a large family accommodation. The names of the architects are unknown. However, the common belief is that the architects were Italian, and materials used in the building were imported from Italy ." And a notice indicates how in 1918 the banker went bankrupt and the building and all its content was acquired by the Nemlioĝlu family. It functioned as headquarters during the war of independence. In 1924 Atatürk stayed here from September 15th till 17th . The villa became national property and was used as government house from 1927 till 1931, and as building for the general inspector till 1937. Then it was a girls’ high technical school for almost half a century, in 1987 the ministry of culture converted into a museum. The building can be seen as one of the best examples of this type in the country.
