Students from Ataturk University bring Turkish mythology to life at Ata Ice Museum, creating detailed ice sculptures of legendary figures and cultural symbols.
Visual Arts Teacher Burak Selvi emphasizes that the sculptures aim to remind visitors of Turkish culture, combining artistry with historical and symbolic meaning.
Using electric saws, rasps and irons students meticulously shaped the ice sculptures, enhanced by dramatic lighting throughout the museum.
Ayaz Ata and horse-headed figures, central to Turkish folklore are recreated in three-dimensional ice artworks, offering visitors a glimpse into ancient stories.
Traditional tools like wool-spinning equipment, millstones and rubber shoes from Yoruk culture are crafted in ice celebrating Türkiye’s rich heritage.
The museum features works designed to engage and inspire both children and young visitors.
