The Ata Ice Museum, which was established three years ago, is the only
one in Türkiye.
It offers various works of ice art and it has hosted more than 100,000
visitors since it opened.
Coordinator Mustafa Bulat told Anadolu that the museum opened to
visitors in 2020 with ice sculptures, solo and group exhibitions.

the museum integrates with Erzurum's identity. The air of the museum is -5
degrees Celsius in summer and winter," he said.
