The SEKA Paper Museum in İzmit is a museum of industrial heritage, laid out over 12,345 square metres on the site of the paper mill itself. The story it follows, in images, begins with the founding of the factory — a plant with a real place in the industrialisation of the republican period — and goes on to how paper spread from İzmit across Türkiye.
The display is a modern one and is built for visitors of different ages. It is on Mehmet Ali Kagitci Sokak in the Kozluk quarter.
