Marmara University Museum and Art Gallery

The Marmara University Museum and Art Gallery is located in the Marmara University Rectorate Building, originally constructed in 1883 as the Ministry of Agriculture. This elegant Ottoman structure, situated near the Hippodrome, now serves as a cultural institution showcasing art and historical artifacts. The building itself is a significant example of Ottoman architecture, and the museum provides a quieter, more accessible art experience compared to some of Istanbul's larger, more crowded attractions. It's a convenient stop for those exploring the Sultanahmet area.
