Rahmi
Koç
Museum
Ankara
is
a
scaled
down
replica
of
the
one
in
Istanbul.
Cars,
old
radios,
old
bicycles,
you
name
it.
Personally,
I
consider
these
two
museums
one
of
the
best
in
Europe,
in
their
genre.
This
museum
must
be
visited.
It
is
located
in
the
vicinity
of
the
historical
Ankara
Kalesi.
Next
to
the
museum
is
another
compact
but
very
good
private
museum,
Erimtan.
If
you
walk
500mt
down,
you
will
have
the
opportunity
to
visit
the
crown
jewel,
Anadolu
Medeniyetleri
müzesi,
(Anatolian
Civilizations
Muuseum).
I
will
not
explicitly
list
all
item
groups
displayed
at
RMK
museum,
only
to
mention
my
favorites:
The
smiling
Buddha
figures
collection
of
late
Turkish
comedian
Zeki
Alasya,
an
exceptional
display
of
small
Buddhas,
primarily
of
ivory,
and
ceramics.
I
have
never
encountered
a
similar
collection
previously
anywhere.
Vintage
radios,
specifically
two
models,
a
Zenith
Trans-Oceanic
and
a
National.
I
have
a
sentimental
connection
to
these
because
same
models
exist
at
my
home,
a
souvenir
of
my
late
father.
Zenith
Trans-Oceanic
was
the
royalty
of
short
wave
radios.
It
was
manufactured
by
Zenith
Electronics,
from
1941
till
1979.
During
those
years
Zenith
was
a
USA
company,
which
was
purchased
by
LG
Electronics
of
South
Korea
in
1999.
Next
to
RMK
Museum,
you
can
enjoy
a
good
coffee
and
sweets
at
Divan
Patisserie.
