Pieces of Turkish and Islamic Art are exhibited in the museum. Museum of
Turkish and Islamic Art was built in 1524 by the Grand Vizier to
Suleyman the Magnificent, Ibrahim Pasa, as his residence. It was the
grandest private residence ever built in the Ottoman Empire. Today it
holds a superb collection of ceramics, metalwork, miniatures,
calligraphy, textiles, and woodwork as well as some of the oldest
carpets in the world.
