Museum of Meerschaum

TIME : 2016/2/19 2:52:15

Behind the 1492 Kurşunlu Mosque with its kurşunlu (leaden) dome, the medrese houses the Museum of Meerschaum, which pays homage to the region's weird and wonderful white rock, in its artistically-crafted form. There are some particularly elaborate pipes on display and a handicrafts bazaar.
