Ordu Museum is located on Taşocak Street in Selimiye Neighborhood of Ordu provincial center. Celebrated as 'Paşaoğlu Mansion', the building is a first-class masterpiece of Ottoman civil architecture. It was commissioned in 1896 by Paşaoğlu Hüseyin Efendi, a prominent wealthy dignitary of Ordu. Spanning 625 m2 including its garden, building stones were brought from Ünye, while timber and ceramic tile materials were imported from Romania. Master craftsmen from Istanbul were employed in its construction. Representing one of the finest civil architectural specimens of the 19th century, Paşaoğlu Mansion comprises three stories including the ground floor. The ground floor serves administrative functions, the first floor hosts ethnographic exhibits, and the second floor is curated to reflect traditional mansion domestic life. Expropriated in 1982 by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, General Directorate of Antiquities and Museums, restoration commenced in 1983. Following completion of conservation and exhibition works, it opened on November 18, 1987, as Paşaoğlu Mansion and Ethnography Museum, preserving a rare specimen of Black Sea civil heritage for future generations.
