The topographic model of Bursa is one of the interesting parts of the museum. The delicately designed model allows visitors to see the historical buildings of the city such as the city walls, baths, mosques and social complex from an air view. However, in the museum, where there is a coffee house and tea garden on the ground floor and a gift shop, visitors do not neglect to buy small items that they can always store or gift to their loved ones in their homes in memory of their arrival. There is also a multi-purpose hall on the first floor of the museum called ‘Document’ which is also used as a research area, library, reading place and as an area where presentations can be viewed.
