ANKARA PALACE MUSEUM

Opened in 1927, Ankara Palace hosted high-level foreign delegations and international meetings for many years. In the 1930s, Ankara Palace was a gathering place for politicians, journalists, and artists, and between 1927 and 1975, it served as a hotel with a capacity of 120 beds.

Between 1976 and 1982, it was used as an office and exhibition space by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. In 1982, it underwent extensive restoration by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was reopened as the Ankara Palace State Guesthouse on October 29, 1983. In 2018, Ankara Palace was transferred to the Presidency's National Palaces Administration. The Ankara Palace Museum opened its doors to visitors in 2024.

The Ankara Palace Museum showcases the Ottoman and Republican periods with five exhibition halls covering a total of 1,000 m² and nearly 1,200 artefacts. The museum hosts a variety of items from the National Palaces Collection, including select pieces from the 16th to 19th centuries, as well as objects used by Atatürk and items reflecting the early Republican Era. The items on display include paintings, clocks, technological devices, silverware, tableware, manuscripts and printed works, objects used by Atatürk and Ankara Palace, war memorabilia, diplomatic gifts, Hereke textiles, Beykoz glassware, Yildiz porcelains, medals and decorations, seals, coins and selections from the Treasury Collection.

The museum project design, display cases, artefact pedestals, informational panels, artefact hangers, graphic design and applications, specially developed display solutions for the artefacts, and their placement were all carried out by Fibula.
