In order to increase interest in museums and ancient ruin locations throughout the world, the traditional “Selfie Day at the Museum,” initiated three years ago, was held at the entrance of the ancient ruins in Çanakkale.
This year it was hosted at the Troy Museum, the finalist of Europe’s 2020 Museum of the Year.
To gain international recognition of Turkey’s museums and increase knowledge of museums among people from ages 7 to 77, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism this year organised through social media an award competition. For competition purposes, selfies taken at the museum were shared at #museumselfiedayturkey and #müzedeselfiegünü.
Among the “Selfie Day the Museum” participants was ÇOMÜ Vice President Bunyamin Bacak taking selfies and supporting the event.
