Queen of Spain Sophie visited The Culture Museum on 28/09/2007 then

They had lunch at the Museum's Restaurant.

In 1956 the first hotel was opened in Cappadocia in an attractive stone building in the village of Ortahisar. The hotel was later closed and the building left empty until 2003 when it underwent considerable restoration work, and in 2004 the only ethnographic museum in Cappadocia was installed there: The museum illustrates the traditions of the area using life-like models to create a series of scenes of everyday activities.  The museum complex includes another fine stone house built in 1933 for use as the local Town Hall. That was also restored and turned into a café-restaurant serving the traditional cuisine of Cappadocia.  The museum restaurant is able to host various sorts of meetings. There are rooms suitable for film and slide shows and conference facilities with a seating capacity for up ro 250 people. A complete service for the organisation of such functions can be provided upon request.
