The Turkish Pharmacists' Association opened its museum of pharmacy history and fine arts in Ankara on 4 November 2025, in the building that had served as the association's own headquarters. It sets out to link the long history of the profession with art, and the association presents it as a place for both.
The museum gives a place to the historic Yeni Moda Pharmacy, founded in the last years of the Ottoman Empire and in business until 2022; the family of its last owner, the pharmacist Melih Ziya Sezer, welcomed the association's decision to preserve it.
