The heart of the collection here is ·¡²õ°ì¾±ÅŸ±ð³ó¾±°ù's Museum of Contemporary Glass Art, a unique display donated by about 70 Turkish and foreign artists. The tradition of melting and fusing glass dates to the Pharaohs, and a local Egyptologist (and university professor) revived the art and opened a studio in ·¡²õ°ì¾±ÅŸ±ð³ó¾±°ù.
