Sadberk Hanım Museum - Free Audio Guide

The Sadberk Hanım Museum in Istanbul is a private cultural institution founded to preserve the art and material heritage assembled by the Koç family and named for Sadberk Koç. Housed in a restored 19th‑century waterfront mansion on the Bosphorus, the museum presents a broad collection spanning prehistoric Anatolian artifacts through Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman periods, including sculptures, ceramics (notably Iznik ware), textiles and daily‑life objects. Its permanent displays and rotating temporary exhibitions illuminate regional history, craft traditions and social life, contributing to scholarly research and public understanding of Turkey’s cultural legacy. The institution operates with regular visiting hours, charges an admission fee, and provides accessibility accommodations and educational services while maintaining conservation standards.
