Very nice tiny boutique museum, it won't take you more than 20 minutes to check all the masks. The security/receptionist is very friendly, told about the museum a bit and answered questions.

Free entrance, so small, when l entered I didn't find anyone to welcome, help or anything, a little bit disappointing. I think they should rethink about the display method and should add some activities out there. Because it's too typical which adds some dullness

Small museum in Izmir which is good for short stop (15 minutes max) and visit. It's free and has about 50 different masks from around the world.
