4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Worth a visit if you’re interested in history and Oriental culture

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Lots of interesting artefacts. Could do with a bit more information in English and in some places the lighting was quite poor.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Good place to buy the museum card as queuses are short, then carry on up the hill to the Topapki Palace etc

4/5 - Good

Jo

Half of it is closed for renovation- but the half that's open has some very impressive exhibits.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

The museum is in the middle of major renovations. 80% of it is closed (and you only find out after you buy the tickets)

3/5 - Okay

Joy

A rather large part of the Museum being restored and closed to the public hence above rating.
