Closed for construction. Looks lik it will be closed a good long while. I need to add enough to get to 100 words.

You can see artworks such as wood-works, rugs, hand-writings from various foundations, mosques and masjids from all over the country. Also you may see some possessions of Ottoman Sultans.

We were disappointed to find that this museum was closed for another year for renovations so if you are planning to visit keep this in mind.

Best location to see the highlights of Islamic art. A professional guide is highly recommended. Be ready to spare at least half a day for this visit.

Location Across from Blue Mosque the collection is excellent especially the carpet collection disadvantage has a lot of steps unfortunately closed at 2013 for retoration

Well kept art work and a historical building as the grand vizier of Suleyman the magnificient lived in the very same building.

Not so widely advertised, the Turkish and Islamic Art Museum shows some very interesting items in a pleasant way. Not too many items to make your visit fatiguing, quite diverse displays (very interesting the section covering ancient carpets and a small turkish ethnographic museum). The environment is quite pleasant, with an ample and well kept garden, a quiet balcony overlooking... More

Going to this museum was one of the highlights of my 10 day trip in Istanbul. It is manageable to see in 2 hours, maybe a little but more time for enjoying coffee in the cafe. There are beautiful carpets, Iznik tiles, Ottoman metalwork and there's an excellent section showing Turkish lifestyles from nomads to 19th century city living.

Well located, not very large - just enough for the children to be engaged but not bored. Well worth the visit!
