The “Boning” event was held at the Kenan Yavuz Ethnography Museum in Bayburt.

A “Kem Spinning” event was held at the Kenan Yavuz Ethnography Museum in Beşpınar village of Demirözü district of Bayburt.

Within the scope of the event, the herbs cut by the visitors were combined and turned into a rope called “kem”, which is frequently used in the villages in the region.

The Kenan Yavuz Ethnography Museum, which aims to keep alive the fading traditions of Anatolia with the understanding of “Living and Living Museum”, held a “Boning” event this week. Kenan Yavuz, the founder of the museum, stated that they will carry out important events during the summer season and that they plan various activities related to village traditions every Sunday.

Businessperson Kenan Yavuz, who transformed his house in Bayburt’s Beşpınar village into a museum, specially designed the house and the surrounding land, adding traditional village houses, mill, mansion, amphitheater, cinema hall, library, local kitchen workshop, village coffee house, tandoori, and the traces of rural life. It created an indoor and outdoor museum that houses it. The Dede Korkut Turkish Identity Library and the area where agricultural tools were exhibited were arranged in and around the house, which was converted into a museum. The building, where the house life that is about to be forgotten in the village was revived, was registered as “Kenan Yavuz Ethnography Museum” by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism General Directorate of Cultural Heritage and Museums. The museum became one of the places visited in Bayburt.

Kenan Yavuz stated that the idea of ​​the museum is the work of loyalty to the land he was born in and that he fulfills his social responsibility socially. Yavuz said, “I projected this work as a loyalty to the land that raised me where my grandfather and grandmother’s graves are. I try to keep the beauties of Anatolian culture alive. I try to create a social awareness, to become concrete, to prevent the traces of our history from being erased. In this sense, if I can create awareness around us, I am happy. We will be involved in important activities for children. We have an open air cinema. We have village houses, water mill and ethnography museum. We also just built the library. I named it Dede Korkut Turkish Identity Library. We wanted to be together with our children. Technology and the digital world are separating children from families and society. “I try to keep their atmosphere of being with adults and the tradition of listening to fairy tales.”

Explaining that he wanted to collect everything belonging to Turkish-Islamic culture in Anatolia in the museum, Yavuz said, “It is an enjoyable project and we have started to have many visitors. “We aim to be an important stop for Bayburt to open to cultural tourism and, in this sense, to both fellow countrymen tourism and foreign tourism.”

Finally, Beşpınar Square of the 1970s and 1980s took its place in the museum. Six workplaces in the years that Beşpınar was a central village in its region and that it produced were symbolically animated in the museum. Working in the childhood and early youth of Kenan Yavuz, the founder of the museum, Carpenter Mehmet Yavuz; Workplaces such as Loru Kahvesi and the names of their owners were kept alive with the spaces created in the museum. The interior of each space was also equipped with tools belonging to the periods it represented related to the business line.

Yavuz said, “If you cannot make Bayburt feel the essence by highlighting it, you should divide the bread of Bayburt, eat its food, sing Bayburt’s folk song, smell Bayburt’s air, play Bayburt bars,” Yavuz said.
