The center serves as both a museum and a promotional center for the egg industry. Visitors can marvel at eggs from 240 different species, collected by 37 producers from 22 cities across Turkey. Additionally, the center boasts around 100 creatively crafted real eggs, including those from wild animals such as sharks, loggerhead sea turtles, snakes, and locusts.

Moreover, the center features records and documents related to the Turkish poultry and egg production sector. It is worth noting that all the eggs on display were obtained from dead embryos and not live ones, as the center was established before the potential harm of such practices was realized. The center offers a fascinating and unique experience for visitors.
