Ilter Uzel Museum of Medicine and Dentistry
Ilter Uzel Museum of Medicine and Dentistry

Ilter Uzel Museum of Medicine and Dentistry(Turkish: İlter Uzel Tıp ve Diş Hekimliği Müzesi) is a museum located in the Tepebağ neighborhood of Adana, which opened to visitors in 2020. It is Turkey's first dentistry museum. Objects such as professional tools used by former medical doctors and dentists, as well as medical history books, are exhibited. The museum is named after Ilter Uzel, one of the first dentists in Turkey to earn a doctorate in the field of medical history and deontology, and its collection consists of objects that Uzel began collecting from 1972 onwards. In the 1970s, Uzel, who earned a doctorate in medical history and focused on the subject of the first Turkish medical manuscripts in his thesis, began building his collection in 1972 when he started writing his thesis. Over the next 50 years, he gathered objects related to the history of dentistry through purchases and donations. Uzel also created miniatures of significant events and figures in the history of dentistry, thus assembling a collection of approximately 8,000 objects, including rare instruments and paintings. The museum housing Uzel's collection was inaugurated on November 9, 2020, during a ceremony held at a two-story, ten-room historic mansion located in the Tepebağ neighborhood. The building was expropriated by the Seyhan Municipality in 2018 and, after being restored, was allocated for the museum. The establishment, organization, sections, and information about the objects and paintings displayed in the museum were compiled into a book in 2021, published in both Turkish and English. The 100-page book was authored by İlter Uzel. The museum, granted "private museum" status by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, was awarded in 2021 in the "Collection and Archive Museums" category at the Museum Encouragement Competition organized by the Historic Cities Union. It was deemed worthy of the award due to its collection of rare artifacts and its location within a historical building that has been repurposed with a new function.
