The museum opened in 2013, but the attempts to establish it began in 2006. It was found in the Historical Soldier Hammam donated by Dardanelles Naval Commandership with the support of Canakkale Governorship, Canakkale Municipality, Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Canakkale Straits Naval Commandership, the Rotary Club, STK (Non-governmental organization), and the city council. It has hosted 17 periodic exhibitions, 2 seminars, 8 exposition groups, and 2 ceramic design competitions since its establishment. Today, it houses a rich Traditional Canakkale Ceramic collection with origins dating back to Troy, as well as objects from collectors Ahmet Uslu, Niyazi Onen, Mehmet Uzuner, and others.
