The 19th-century building, also known as Sarı Ev or Tuzcuoğlu Mansion, was constructed with two storeys over the basement. Sarı House, one of the most notable examples of civil architecture, was subsequently transformed into a museum and opened to the public in 1998. The basement floor was constructed using stone materials and served as a barn and warehouse. It is currently used as an exhibition hall for displaying museum artefacts. The hall contains 17th- and 18th-century baroque-rococo style furniture and showcases. The first floor comprises a kitchen and guest rooms. Currently, this floor is used for administrative purposes. The kitchen, located opposite the stone staircase at the entrance of the museum, has been re-displayed as a kitchen. A large hearth with a large chain called clemuri hanging in the middle was used as the main element in the kitchen. The floor is paved with stone. Copper kitchen utensils are exhibited here. In addition, the mill where corn was ground was animated with mannequins. The second floor is the living quarters of the household. Today, it is organised in the same way and open to visitors. There are bedrooms and living rooms on this floor.
