Hasankeyf Museum
In this museum we exhibited the history Hasankeyf, 12 thousand-year-old city that was submerged by dam waters.
APPROACH
Make the greatest effort in the race against time.
We carried out all design and application projects of the newly built Hasankeyf Museum under the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Turkey as a subcontractor. In Turkey, the government establishes new modern museums to showcase the rich cultural heritage found in archaeological excavations. This time it's a historical city and its surroundings that must be put into a museum.
From Paleolithic Age to the modern times, the museum covers all human history
Hasankeyf was a unique place in terms of geology, nature and history. 12,000 years of human activity has created one of the most intriguing places on earth. It was a real challenge to fit this vast subject into a museum. There were more than 90 information boards covering a total area of 700 meters square. As we were responsible for all graphic design, including taking photographs, drawing historical illustrations and content writing, we rushed to the tasks we needed to complete. The project had many displays to showcase multiple creations. We directed 13 seperate productions for the museum.
