Baksı Museum is a museum located in Bayburt, Turkey. “Baksı” literally means “healer, helper, protector” in the Central Asia.

History

The museum was the idea of the painter and academic Professor Hüsamettin Koçan, who decided to build a museum in his hometown in the Black Sea region of Bayburt. The museum was opened in July, 2010, after taking approximately 20 years of preparation. Professor Hüsamettin Koçan said, “I didn’t do this for my own village, I did it for the people who live in my village and everywhere.”
