Leaving a gift to Güray Müze in your will is one of the most meaningful ways to ensure that the art, heritage, and traditions of Anatolia continue to inspire future generations.
It is a timeless gesture — one that links your name with the preservation of culture, education, and creativity in Cappadocia.
Types of Legacy Giving
Gift in Your Will
Leave a fixed amount or a percentage of your estate to Güray Müze. This can be a personal gift, or made in memory of a loved one.
Named Legacy or Endowment
Create a lasting tribute — such as a scholarship, exhibit, or gallery area — in your or your family’s name.
In-Memory Giving
Ask family or friends to donate to the museum in your honour or in place of funeral flowers. All gifts are deeply respected and formally acknowledged. You may remain anonymous if preferred.
