Kapadokya Yaşayan Miras Müzesi is a museum located in Avanos, in the province of Nevşehir, in the heart of Cappadocia. Located at Orta, 201. Sk. No:1, it highlights the region’s living heritage, especially the skills and traditions passed down through local culture.

The museum is set in a town long known for its craft workshops, especially ceramics and pottery. It presents this heritage in a space designed to connect objects, techniques and everyday practices from the past and present, helping visitors understand the cultural continuity that defines Avanos.

Its appeal lies as much in its content as in its setting in Cappadocia, a region famous for its landscapes and craft traditions. Kapadokya Yaşayan Miras Müzesi offers an insight into both intangible and material heritage through pieces, demonstrations and presentations linked to regional practices.

Visitors mainly come to discover a collection dedicated to the living memory of Cappadocia, rather than a simple exhibition space. The museum is appreciated for its cultural value and for the way it connects Avanos with the region’s artisanal identity.
