Baksı Museum Situated on a hilltop with a stunning view of the Çoruh Valley, the Baksı Museum is located 45 km away from Bayburt. This distinctive museum merges contemporary art with traditional handicrafts. Covering an area of 30 hectares, it includes exhibition halls, workshops, a conference hall, a library, and guesthouses. The Baksı Museum was envisioned by Hüsamettin Koçan in 2000 and founded as a foundation in 2005. Over the years, numerous artists and professionals have dedicated their time and skills to bring this vision to life. Despite lacking financial support from the government, the museum was completed in 2010 after 10 years of construction work. At the Baksı Museum, contemporary artworks are displayed alongside traditional crafts, creating a space where both traditional and modern folk arts can flourish. The museum's mission is to foster cultural preservation and provide educational opportunities for future generations. Furthermore, it aims to revitalize Bayburt, a region affected by migration, and stimulate the local economy through art.
