What takes place at Tayyare Kültür Merkezi
Tayyare Kültür Merkezi hosts a broad mix of cultural and professional events, including concerts, performances, exhibitions, meetings, conferences, panels, seminars and screenings. Check the programme for the specific event you want to attend, since the venue serves several different formats.
The building was designed by architect Arif Hikmet Koyunoğlu and built by the Tayyare Cemiyeti, also known as the Turkish Aeronautical Association. It opened in 1932. Bursa Municipality purchased it in 1945, and restoration intended to return it to its original form began in 1991. The restored venue opened as Tayyare Kültür Merkezi in 1995.
Bursa Metropolitan Municipality describes a 581-seat concert-performance hall and a 100-person meeting room; its page also gives a capacity of 700 for the Büyük Salon. The venue has two to four exhibition spaces, as well as a stage system, sound, lighting and projection systems, backstage and meeting rooms, technical rooms, a foyer and a cocktail hall.
