Baks

The Baks? Museum was founded in 2005 in a village in Bayburt, one of Turkey's most distant eastern places, by an artist and academic Professor Hüsamettin Koçan. The museum, founded literally in the middle of nowhere, was a utopia come true. 

Koçan was supported by artists who donated their work to the museum and a handful of businesspersons.

The Baks? Museum in the eastern Black Sea province of Bayburt?s Bayraktar (Baks?) village will celebrate its decennial with various events this year.

The founder of the museum, Professor Hüsamettin Koçan, said the most important feature of Baks? Museum was that it did not have limits.
