Let’s take a look at where is the Istanbul Maritime Museum, the biggest maritime museum in Turkey, and how to get there. There are about 20 thousand works in Istanbul Maritime Museum. This beautiful museum, however, is a first military museum established in our country, with a great selection with the diversity of the works it houses.
In 1897, a small building in Istanbul was founded under the name of Museum and Library Administration as a result of great efforts. At that time nobody predicted that this building, which was opened as a museum store in the first time, would become such a big and important one in the future.
In addition to the reforms made in 1914, the museum was reformed and the museum was restructured in scientific and technical terms. Due to the danger created by World War II, the artifacts were moved to Anatolian territory. At the end of the war, the works were brought back to Istanbul. The works were transferred to Dolmabahçe Mosque Complex as a result of the conditions brought about by the circumstances at that time. The work was opened to the public on September 27, 1948. In 1961 the museum was moved to its present position.
The main exhibition building of the museum has 3 floors and has an area of 1500 square meters. It is set up as 4 large saloons and 17 rooms at the building will be exhibit space. The museum was recently restored and opened for public visit on 4 October 2013.
