Rediscovering Cultural
Heritage
As the largest museum shop chain in
the world, Bilkent Cultural Initiative
(BKG) provides resources regarding
the protection, continuation, and
promotion of Turkey’s cultural heritage
with its 79 museum shops, 45
museum cafes, 300 employees, 114
craftsmen, and over 20 thousand
culture-related products.
The initiative leads its projects with
the aims of supporting the protection
and continuation of Turkey’s
cultural heritage and creating intellectual
added value in a cultural
context. The initiative also aims to
form an identity for cultural products,
to popularise traditional handicrafts,
to be a leader in the field of
contemporary museum shops, and
to provide social milieus that complete
the museum experience.
BKG also pays great attention to
contribute to the positive perception
of the sectors of culture and
tourism in Turkey with the worldclass
services it provides. BKG
brings together cultural heritage
and modern designs in a variety of
categories extending from replicas
of daggers to Anatolian motif home
textiles, from İstanbul-themed
fridge magnets to prestigious publications.
In short, we are making an effort
to transmit to the coming generations
our values that preserve and
keep alive everything belonging to
the life that human beings transmit,
carry and continue from age
to age. As the BKG family we invite
everyone to share in our heritage
and make it live…
