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.
