The museum is located in the palace of Ibrahim Pasha, built in the XVI century. The museum is certainly interesting (as, in fact, the building itself). The museum's exhibits include magnificent collections of calligraphy, ceramics, sculptures, miniatures, carpets, and ethnographic materials...
A must-visit museum! The collection is simply magnificent. A collection of ancient handwritten sacred books, stunning carpets - there is something to see. The number of exhibits is just enough not to get tired and get maximum aesthetic pleasure. And enrich yourself with new knowledge.
A good exhibition. A lot of interesting things. It is very interesting to walk in the old palace. It's a pity there wasn't an audio guide... In the end, I just went and looked at the beauty that I would like to know at least something about...
A wonderful museum on Sultanahmet Square in a historic building dedicated to the history of the development of Islamic art - calligraphy, decorative and applied arts. The collection is very diverse - objects of worship, carpets, household items of royalty and, of course, works by calligraphers. There are very few visitors. There is a cafe in the courtyard. There is a small observation deck.
The museum is small, there are interesting exhibits and relics. There are few people. The Museum Pass is available. There is a beautiful view of the Blue Mosque from the walls!
Especially for fans of Islamic history. Maybe. We didn't get anything at all. Ceramics, books, and relics. How people lived at that time is not clear from this museum. There is no audio guide, the application uses machine translation, and the connection inside is unstable. If the price were reasonable, it would be nothing, but for 17 euros it is a complete disappointment.
I slightly corrected the impression of the ethnographic museum, at the bottom of the main one. It's a small room, but it's worth everything else.

A small but rather interesting museum about the history of Turkey. A large collection of ceramics, carpets and korans. There is even an exhibition of personal items of the Prophet Muhammad. There is a pleasant courtyard inside, and there is an ethnographic exhibition downstairs. We went without an audio guide, but we had enough information signs on the walls of the museum, everything is described in some detail (in Turkish and in English)
The ancient history of Turkish and Islamic art is very impressive! Carpets from the 13th century and ancient Korans were especially impressive. Such skill is respected
We took an audio guide to visit the museum. We started the visit from the last hall. We were surprised that there is very little information in the audio guide in this room. Then we went to the beginning. We have viewed many expositions. As a result, it seemed that the audio guide was not made very well. But there's nothing to do without it. We were satisfied with the visit to the museum
A clean, beautiful art museum. We didn't regret coming in. There are almost no tourists inside (Monday 15:00-18:00). Audio guides for 50 rubles, an ID or passport is left as a deposit. You can go through the museum card (on August 15, 2022 - 700T for five days). There is a nice cafe on site. We recommend taking 2-3 hours to complete the museum with an audio guide (+ we watched the free exhibition at the entrance).

The Museum of Turkish and Islamic Art is located in an ancient building — the palace of Ibrahim Pasha, which became a wedding gift to the faithful vizier from Suleiman the Magnificent. I advise everyone who loves history
A small museum was originally opened in one of the premises of the Suleymaniye Mosque, then it was moved to the palace of Ibrahim Pasha. There are presented: jewelry, utensils, carpets, a collection of various Korans. There is a great terrace with a nice view on site
Purposefully, it is hardly worth going here, but if time permits, you can go in. It will take an hour at most to watch carefully, you can relax from the heat - it's cool inside. There are not many exhibits. You don't often see carpets in museums, but here you do. Jugs, dishes, jewelry, household items.
Fans of the "Magnificent Century" will be interested. The building was donated by Suleiman Ibrahim Pasha, where he lived until his execution. The museum has many exhibits belonging to the Ottoman sultans.
A rather modest gathering. The whole Islamic culture is carpets and the Koran. In fact, you don't see anything else there. You can go, because it is not so expensive, especially if you can read Arabic.
It will be interesting for all connoisseurs of history and art. And everyone else will probably be bored. Therefore, do not go if you are not initially connoisseurs, do not write reviews!!!
There are a lot of old carpets, dishes, books. It will probably be interesting for history lovers accompanied by an audio guide. I went there because the passage was included in the museum pass card.
