The concept of adaptive reuse encompasses the transformation of historic buildings to applications in modern functional requirements. Long-term conservation necessitates a thorough comprehension of the physical, architectural, and spatial aspects of the current building. The adaptation of historical buildings as museums, also known as museumization, is a prevalent strategy in the field of cultural heritage preservation. Especially the practice of converting traditional houses into museums has been increasingly popular in Turkey in recent years. In this context, the transformation process of these museums, which are known as "historic house museums" and are notable for their collections and tales, is critical in terms of the conservation concept. The process of museumization can lead to damage to the building in cases where the values of cultural heritage building are not analyzed well and the approaches are not determined correctly. The character, significance, and architecture of the historic houses, as well as its structural integrity and spatial features, can occasionally be overlooked through this approach. In this thesis, historical buildings that were formerly used as residences but were later converted into museums studied in order to reveal the intervention approaches. The transformation process of selected examples have been studied, including spatial organizations, modifications and transformations in the historical process, spatial additions, and intervention approaches involving reuse.
