The museum is one of the first cultural efforts of humanity to remember, accumulate and show in the historical context. In the modern sense, museology stands out as a technical field in the preserving, archiving, and exhibiting of materials. For this reason, many types of museums have emerged. In addition to many exhibition-based museums such as archeology, ethnography, history, art, painting, nature, industry, technology, applied, open-air, living museum types have become widespread in recent years. Due to the widespread use of museology, which is based on the exhibition of materials and getting information by those concerned, when museums are mentioned in Turkey, the environments in which historical artifacts or materials are presented in a showcase come to mind. It can be said that museums have functions such as compilation-collection, documentation-archiving, exhibition, preservation, education, research, communication, cultural economy, and tourism. Museums, which we can define as cultural memory places, are the memory and remembrance places of societies. It is a place of remembrance and transfer for the local people, while it is an exploration or experience for the foreign visitor. Conservation of intangible cultural heritage (UNESCO ICH-2003) together with tangible cultural heritage and transferring it to new generations has become a cultural policy for states in today’s world. For this reason, the importance of museums has emerged as a place where teaching and transfer can take place in an out-of-school environment, especially in the context of protecting and keeping cultural heritage alive. For this reason, museums can be shown as an example and pioneer in the “protection” method in the text of the contract, which can be used as an example of out-of-school education. In terms of sustainability, both in terms of bringing traditional culture into the economy and continuing education and transfer in the non-school area, Turkey’s open-air museum (open-air museum), and living museum (happy museum project) are one of the world’s experiences, which appears to be lagging behind. This museum approach, which has a history of almost a century, does not seem as new as it seems, it can be said that it did not attract the attention of Turkey. This new museology method is aimed to learn by having fun, being happy, and making happy, to bring generations together, to ensure the survival of cultural memory and its transfer to future generations and contribute to the cultural economy. Thanks to the establishment of the Sivrihisar Applied Rug Museum, it is aimed to increase awareness of cultural heritage with the aim of contributing to sustainable development, fostering historical unity and sharing culture, and ensuring the continuity of the sense of identity, in addition to presenting the traditional rug weaving culture of Eskişehir and especially Sivrihisar to the visitors visiting the museum, the transfer of yarn-making, dyeing, and weaving techniques that have been remembered for centuries to the younger generations and women among the disadvantaged groups in the cultural economy.
