Nearly 800 pieces reflecting the development of Islamic art from the 7th to the 19th century are exhibited at the museum.
Apart from the holy relics – the footprint of the Prophet Muhammad and the Kaaba door curtain – there is a plethora of items of great historical value. Among them are Ottoman sultans’ caftans, the childhood notebook of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, the coins of the Ottoman period, the rosaries of the dervishes, and the sultans’ swords.
Many of these unique pieces have not been exhibited before.
