Features and Scale of the Model

The model in the museum was created based on a photograph taken in 1914. It contains approximately 1,860 architectural buildings and structures built to a scale of 1/150. The model area spans 80 square meters. Additionally, figures of people, animals and vehicles are included in the model.

Technology and Materials Used

Harşena Mountain was scanned using 125 million data points and a relief survey was conducted. This section was manufactured on CNC machines with a precision of 1/1000. The buildings were produced using 3D printers with high-strength composite materials.

City Animation and Atmosphere

The model does not merely reflect space and architecture but presents a living depiction of Amasya, incorporating elements such as the Yeşilırmak River, moving figures within the city and trains. Visitors can listen to city sounds accompanied by soft music and experience day and night atmospheres through color and lighting effects. The nighttime animation is enhanced by a simulation of 2,300 stars and city lighting.
