TEKFUR PALACE MUSEUM

The Palace of Porphyrogenitus has undergone restoration many times throughout its close to one-thousand-year history and was opened up to visitors as a museum after the final restoration works which were begun by Istanbul Municipality in 2006 and which were meticulously completed.
 
The palace was also used as a glass and ceramics workshop in the Ottoman period and gained its deserved reputation for the high-quality products produced in it.
 
The examples of ceramics, glass and crockery that have since been produced in the museum’s workshops after the restoration in a manner which competes with the original workshop’s reputation after the restoration are displayed in a separate museum.
