Top destination
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

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.
