History
The history of the museum dates back to 1904 when the first museum in Bursa was founded at Bursa Boys' Highschool to exhibit Islamic/Ottoman relics and archeological foundings which were unearthed within city's administrative boundaries. In 1929, the exhibit was moved to the present-day location of Bursa Museum of Turkish and Islamic Art. With a new building being prepared for the archeological displays in 1971, the original place within the Yeşil Complex remained a museum for Turkish and Islamic art.
