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.^[1] 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.”
