Cam ve Billur Müzesi

📍 Kaymakdonduran Caddesi, İstanbul, 34820

Cam ve Billur Müzesi, the Glass and Crystal Museum, is a fitting stop for Beykoz, where Ottoman-era glassmaking left a long local legacy. The museum focuses on the craft itself: glass and crystal production, the techniques behind it, and the way these objects moved from workshop skill to everyday culture. Beykoz was long known as a center for glass artisanship, so the museum ties a neighborhood name to a very specific craft tradition. Even the Turkish title, Cam ve Billur, points straight to the material world that shaped so much of the area’s industrial past. Nearby, the old glass-making story continues in the place names and historic industrial sites that still anchor this part of the city.
