Cheese Museum Entrance Fee
The entrance fee for the museum in Kars city center was 2022 TL as of 20. As it is a private museum, the Müzekart is not valid.
What's in the Cheese Museum?
The museum building, built on an area of 2000 square meters, is an old bastion; It is called the Cavalry Bastion because it is a bastion where horses are kept. The bastion was turned into a museum after two years of work.
If you will find information about the history of cheese at the first entrance to the museum. Did you know that cheese was first made by Turks in Central Asia?
There are many sections to see in the museum, from endemic plant species of Kars to cow breeds, from the making of Gruyere cheese to the animations of the making of different types of cheese in villages. More than 650 endemic plant species are consumed by cows in Kars and the taste of that milk determines the quality of the cheese, so it is critical to keep the endemic plant species alive.
The making of Gruyere cheese is animated step-by-step with mummy sculptures, so you can clearly visualize the making process.
You can taste and buy cheese in the cafeteria of the museum. There are also workshops on cheese making in the museum, you can follow the museum's website or social media accounts.
I loved the museum, especially the gruyere wheel decoration used outside the entrance and cafe section.
