It is worth noting that the Museum of Ceramics (Karatay Medresesi) attracts both tourists and locals with its architecture, especially with its dome. Inside, besides the collection of ceramics, is the tomb of the founders of the "madrasa" (that is, the school). History buffs would probably be interested in visiting Atatürk Evi Müzesi, a house museum in which the first president of Turkey lived during his stay in Konya. Nothing has changed since those times when he was visiting the city - and this is definitely worth checking out.
To get better acquainted with the local culture, be sure to explore Nasreddin Hoca Arkeoloji Ve Etnoğrafya Müzesi where you can find collections of Turkish clothing, weapons, household items dating from the 13th century, as well as Rumi's poetry. The museum colorfully describes Nasreddin Hodja, a real person known for his wit who became a popular folklore character. The museum has an atmosphere of medieval Turkey, thanks to which not only tourists but also locals love to visit it.
The same purpose - introducing to the local culture - is pursued by another interesting museum called Konya Etnografya Müzesi where one can learn a lot about the various ethnic groups that have ever inhabited modern Turkey and Konya Province in particular. Jewelry, clothing, household items, and weapons - the "classic" set of museum exhibits. Konya Bilim Merkezi holds fascinating tours, during which visitors can learn the surrounding world through experiments conducted for them (which will be especially interesting for small tourists). All of the museum’s exhibits are interactive. The museum has its own planetarium, which is frequented by both foreign and local families with kids.
