Edirne Museum, which is a museum of archeology, valuable ethnographic artifacts and tombstones are displayed to its visitors. There was no need to open any other museum outside the museum which possessed sufficient wealth in terms of the works it contained. It is located in the Dar Al-Hadith school located in the square of the Sulaimi Mosque. The ethnography section of the museum was opened in 1936 and entered service in the thirteenth year of Edirne. Support was provided by bringing in some valuable artifacts from Ankara Ethnographic Museum and Topkapi Palace Museum. A new building was needed because the artifacts, discovered in the light of studies over the years and purchased from the environment, could not fit into the museum. In 1971, the second museum, the Museum of Archeology and Ethnography, was opened.
