The original folk costumes, accessories and some related objects were donated by various foreign folk dance groups, who participated at the "International Culture and Art Festival" held annually in Büyükçekmece,[1] which was four times awarded by the International Council of Organizations of Folklore Festivals and Folk Arts.[2]
