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.

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.
