The Hidirlik Fortifications in Edirne contain the headquarters building where an epic resistance was shown against the Bulgarians under the command of Sukru Pasha, 18 artillery rooms, a 120-meter tunnel, and 4 passageways. The fact that enemy armies coming from the Balkans reached the capital Istanbul without encountering serious resistance prompted the Ottoman administration to establish a defense line in Edirne. Consequently, nearly 30 fortifications were built in the city, the largest of which was Hidirlik.

The idea of ​​establishing the Lausanne Museum within the Faculty of Fine Arts at Trakya University's Karaagac Campus first emerged in 1996 and took shape with the designations "Lausanne Monument," "Lausanne Square," and "Lausanne Museum." The erection of the Lausanne Monument within the campus was decided by the University Senate's resolution number 7 dated November 27, 1996, with the justification emphasizing that the Lausanne Peace Treaty stipulated the incorporation of the Karaagac region on the Greek side of the Meric River into the Republic's territory as war reparations. The Lausanne Monument and Square were completed in 110 days and inaugurated by President Suleyman Demirel on July 19, 1998.

Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror is one of the most exceptional figures in Turkish, Islamic, and world history. He is a founding genius who closed one era and opened another. Edirne is the city where Fatih was born, spent his childhood and youth, where his personality developed, where he ascended the throne twice, and where he embarked on an undertaking that can be considered a turning point in world history: the conquest of Istanbul. The Clock Tower Madrasa, which houses the museum, is part of the Uc Serefeli Mosque and Complex, a masterpiece of 15th-century Ottoman architecture. The museum building was commissioned by Sultan Murad II, who transformed Edirne into a center of learning with the madrasas he established.

Edirne, a border city that served as the capital of the Ottoman Empire for nearly a century, is one of our important cities that connects the past with the present through its historical and cultural heritage, most notably the world-renowned Selimiye Mosque Complex. Aiming to preserve the centuries-old foundation culture and civilization, the General Directorate of Foundations, through a project carried out by the Edirne Regional Directorate of Foundations, has brought the Selimiye Foundation Museum to Edirne.

The first museum in Edirne was established in 1925 by order of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in the Dar-ul Hadis Madrasa, part of the Selimiye Complex, by Dr. Rifat Osman, Arif Dagdeviren, and Necmi Ige. Initially called the Archaeology Museum, it housed valuable ethnographic artifacts and tombstones. Later, due to its inability to meet the needs, a second museum was deemed necessary. This second section, dedicated to ethnography, was opened on November 25, 1936, the thirteenth anniversary of Edirne's founding, in the Dar-ul Kurra Madrasa, also part of the Selimiye Complex. The Ministry of National Education and the General Directorate of Foundations provided financial contributions to this museum, and it was supplemented with valuable artifacts from the Ankara Ethnography Museum and the Topkapi Palace Museum.

The two museums established in Edirne in 1925 and 1936 were merged under a single directorate in 1954, with Muzaffer Batur appointed as director. Although some brief introductory texts were written after the consolidation of both museums under one directorate, a period of stagnation occurred until 1966. From that year onwards, with the increase in the number of artifacts, the construction of a new building was included in the program.

The Health Museum is a medical history museum established in the Daraüşşifa (hospital) section of the complex built by Sultan Bayezid II, son of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, in 1488.

Restored and brought to the city by the Edirne Municipality, the Edirne City Museum was created through the renovation of the Hafızağa Mansion and serves as a bridge between the city's history and future. Bringing Edirne's rich past to the present, this museum offers an opportunity to witness history by exhibiting many important artifacts dating from the Chalcolithic Period to the present day.
