    Wow for 25 lira you can see some amazing weapons from the very beginning of the Ottoman Empire until recently. There were some great choices that the museum displayed such as the MP-18 or PPSH-41. Rare weapons I hadn’t previously seen displayed at other museums. It’s very large and you may take some time to walk around (2-3.5 hours depending on if you see the concert). The descriptions in English to be honest were very bare and could use a bit of work. Also, for some of the swords there were very little indication of dates/years. But for the price and the actual content you can see very much worth a visit. Would highly recommend coming here.

    (Translated by Google) The Harbiye Military Museum, which is a historical museum, is located in the Harbiye district of Istanbul. The establishment phase of the museum continued until the 15th century. After the increase in the number of archaeological artifacts in the museum, it was deemed appropriate to move the works to the Tiled Kiosk. On this occasion, the foundation of the Istanbul Archeology Museums was laid today. Another remarkable feature of the museum is that the museum's cinema, library, publications and mehter are a museum that coincides with the contemporary understanding of museology. The museum operated in Ayana Irini until 1940. During the Second World War, the military museum stopped its activities for a while. After the danger of war, the museum started to operate again. In 1966, when the building was thought to be insufficient for collections, restoration work began in the museum. Arrangements were made on February 10, 1993, and it was opened to visitors. (Original) Tarihi bir müze olan Harbiye Askeri Müzesi, İstanbul’un Harbiye semtinde bulunmaktadır. Müzenin kuruluş aşaması 15. Yüzyıla kadar devam etmiştir. Müzede arkeolojik eser sayısının artışının ardından eserlerin Çinili Köşke taşınması uygun görülmüştür. Bu vesileyle günümüzde İstanbul Arkeoloji Müzeleri’nin temeli atılmıştır. Müzede dikkat çeken bir diğer özellik ise müze sinemasının, kütüphanesinin, yayınlarının ve mehterinin günümüzdeki çağdaş müzecilik anlayışıyla örtüşen bir müze olmasıdır. Müze 1940 yılına kadar Ayana İrini’de faaliyet göstermiştir. İkinci Dünya savaşı esnasında askeri müze bir süre faaliyetlerini durdurmuştur. Savaş tehlikesinin ardından müze tekrardan faaliyet göstermeye başlamıştır. 1966 yılında binanın koleksiyonlar için yetersiz kaldığının düşünülmesiyle müzede restore çalışmaları başlamıştır. 10 Şubat 1993’te düzenlemeler yapılarak ziyarete açılmıştır.

    What an impressive military museum, definitely worth visiting. The signage/descriptions are very detailed and give a great summary of the displayed objects. Highly recommended. The only down side is they start closing around 4 pm, please plan spending around 3-4 hours if you love reading about history.

    When you create a great musum, specially one named war musum, it's a given that you would try to boast about your culture and history. But still, a musum is a musum, and under no circumstances should it give false and inaccurate data. I mean what's the point of a musum if you can't trust what they tell about the items and history? I'm gonna be honest, I loved the musum, I loved the weapons inside it, and it was a good demonstration of the power of the great Ottoman Empire. But many things in the musum were inaccurate. From writing the debunked myth of "The great wall of China is visible from space", to calling the scientists of another culture "Turks", when they were not. The inaccuracies left a sour taste in my mouth and it saddens me because it could be one of the best musum I have seen.

    The best museum staff I ever saw in Turkey! Don’t expect much by visiting this museum since it’s not so big and items is not so much worthy (unless you like these stuff). I saw this place when I was nearby then I decided to go inside, 25 Turkish lira and free for kids under 6 years (Very good price).

    An exquisite museum of history about military history about all Turkic history, even Atilla. You can find equipment across 2000 years of Turkish history, and many modern arms and equipments from Türkiye since 1923. There are many pieces you can't find pretty much anywhere else. Personally I saw more historic and modern weaponry here than Sofia Military Museum (although Sofia had more military vehicles)

    Well it is one of the greatest museum I ever visited. Increadeble amount of military items some of them used in wars, some given between state officials, some belongs to famous leaders. Lots of weapons, armours and gadgets. For a military and war history enthusiast one day won't be enough to complete tour in the museum.

    Istanbul Military Museum (Turkish: Askerî Müze) is dedicated to one thousand years of Turkish military history. It is one of the leading museums of its kind in the world. The museum is open to the public everyday except Mondays and Tuesdays. The museum initially opened in Saint Irene Church. Later in 1950, it was moved to the First Army Headquarters building in Cumhuriyet Caddesi, Harbiye, not far from Taksim Square in Istanbul. Harbiye district (an Ottoman derivation from the Arabic word harb for warfare) was the site of the Ottoman imperial military academy, the empire's "West Point" or "Sandhurst" and is still an important military installation. A fine collection of historical weapons, uniforms and tools of various periods of the army are on display. The highlights are the magnificent campaign tents and standards. Outside the museum, interesting Ottoman cannons and mortars, a rail gun, aircraft, helicopters are on display. The military museum and culture center was renovated and reopened at its present building in 1993 with a very successful and contemporary exhibition concept. Today in 22 rooms about nine thousand pieces from the Ottoman era through World War I are exhibited, out of a total collection of fifty thousand objects. It holds striking historical treasures such as the chain that the Byzantines stretched across the mouth of the Golden Horn to keep out the Sultan's navy in 1453 during the siege of Constantinople. The east wing of the museum is used for temporary exhibitions, meetings and similar activities. On the ground floor, the display of bows and arrows in the first room is followed by sections containing the weapons and other regalia of the cavalry, curved daggers and lancets carried by foot soldiers in the 15th century, 17th century copper head armor for horses and Ottoman shields carried by the janissaries, and sections devoted to Selim I, Mehmet the Conqueror, the conquest of Istanbul, weaponry from the early Islamic, Iranian, Caucasian, European and Turkish periods. This floor also houses a unique collection of helmets and armor, as well as the sections allocated to firearms and great field tents used by sultans on their campaigns. On the upper floor there are rooms where objects from World War I, the Battle of Gallipoli, and the Turkish War of Independence, and uniforms from more recent times are displayed. There is also a room which is dedicated to Atatürk, who studied in the building when it was a military academy between 1899-1905

  • 5/5 Lana I. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best museums in Istanbul, very well designed and the display of ancient items is very nice. However, the museum needs some technology to enhance the experience like other museums maybe a phone application with audio and a brief information about the different eras to guide through the museum, an audio or visual room for children to watch short movies about the battles or historical events, an audio button at some stations to listen to a brief about the history of the item. Unfortunately the coffee shop was closed, one needs a break in a such a big museum, maybe if you add some stations for water or coffee at the entrance or exit. Overall it was an amazing experience my children and I enjoyed a lot.

    A very well cataloged history of the turks in general and turkey to be specific. They start from an early Era and give a detailed explanation of every happening. The pictures, data, models and videos are perfect for an amateur to understand the history. There is a complete section for the chiefs of Turkish army A section dedicated to Kamal Ataturk The only improvement they require is to add text in English at some places

    Nice historical museum. It can take at least 2 hours to visit and see everything bc it's really big. It has 2 floors. It begins with the Middle Asia Turk history and ends with the Republic of Turkey. There are also many special rooms for Atatürk. Entrance is free for students,13 Liras for adults

    Although this museum has an impressive array of exhibits, they are displayed in an endless array of halls without a real sense of narrative other than a chronology and some highlights from Turkish history. It's worth a visit but given the depth and scope of Turkish military history this museum could be so much more interesting if a more modern, creative concept was applied to the collection.

    A vast and superb collection of military artefacts from the history of the Turks. The entry price is an astonishingly cheap 10TL. With this you can see the Ottoman Mehter military band perform at 3pm each day. They are extremely well-organised and impressive to watch. You can spend many hours here with ease, and they are welcoming to foreigners.

    Five stars for anyone who enjoys military history or Turkish history and four stars for everyone else. This museum is located close to Taksim Square so is not difficult to visit. After all, does anyone visit Istanbul and not make it to Taksim Square - at least on their first visit? The museum is massive. If one spends even a few minutes at several artefacts in each gallery it's easy to cross two hours! For anyone interested in the stuff, budget 2.5 - 3 hours (excluding the military band show). The museum walks visitors through Turkish military history from its inception until the contemporary period, including UN Peacekeeping operations in Korea. That means the Ottoman period and the War of Independence are well covered. However, visits to the museum should be timed to coincide with the Ottoman military band show which occurs daily at 15.00 hours. The pageantry and music is worthwhile even for non-military types. The Army Museum is well worth the entrance fees and half a day. The visit can be combined with Taksim Square and Istiklal Cadessi - standard attractions on the Istanbul tourist trail. Please note the museum is closed on Monday and Tuesday (at the time of writing).

    This place is huge. There are a lot of interesting items from all periods of history. Staff was friendly and fluent in english. Ticket price is cheap and there are interactive expositions. It takes hours to see it all so you better be rested and not just coming by foot from Dolmabahçe, with your feet hurting like hell.

    (Translated by Google) The building, which is the school where Atatürk studied, now contains collections related to Turkish military history. For transportation, you can take the bus or walk from Taksim or Osmanbey stop of the Hacıosman-Yenikapı metro.

    (Translated by Google) It is the only museum I can't get enough of over and over. I travel for hours every time I go, refreshing my historical knowledge, once again I am proud of my Turkishness. But it is upset that it is now closed due to the pandemic. As a result, the museum is very large and it is not an environment where people are intertwined, so it does not make sense to be closed. If you open to visit as soon as possible, I want to come back. (Original) Defalarca gidip doyamadığım tek müze. Her gidişimde saatlerce geziyorum, tarih bilgimi tazeliyor Türklüğümle bir kez daha gurur duyuyorum. Fakat pandemi sebebiyle su an kapalı olmasi üzüyor. Sonuç olarak müze çok büyük ve insanların iç içe olduğu bir ortam değil yani kapalı olması biraz anlamsız geliyor. Bir an evvel ziyarete açarsanız tekrar gelmek istiyorum.

    Very large and old military museum. If you want to see everything and listen for the Mehter band would give in 2-3 hrs + . The size of the collection is astounding. Have swords , guns and armor from the 1200’s to WW1 period. Special exhibits on Gallipoli , WW1 and Kemal Ataturk founder of the republic on 2nd floor. Ancient arms and armor on the 1st floor. Arms are not just Turkish and Islamic but also European arms and armor from the crusades , Italian , French and German. If you are into swords must see, largest portion of the collection is probably the swords. If you are doing the metro get off at Osmanbey station and walk up to hill and turn left at the fork, will be right in front of you- 5 minutes walk . I had a hard time finding it at first.

    Very good military museum. A lot of weaponry from different ages, mostly from the Ottomans and Turkish republic. A great exhibit is a chain that was across the Galata, blocking a way for an Ottoman fleet during the Constantinople siege 1453. Also,must see is a Mehter concert that is held at 15;00, one of the oldest military bands in the world.

    This is a historical building located in Harbiye and within walking distance from Taksim and Nişantaşi areas. Museum is close to public transport. You can learn about the military history of Turks dating back to Seljuks. The museum is one of the best and modern ones in Istanbul and probably one of the largest in the world. The fees are super cheap. There is also a chance to watch the Mehteran (Ottoman military band) show on a daily basis.

    (Translated by Google) At the time I visited, the admission fee was far cheaper than the others. I was able to see the performance of the traditional military band, which is said to be the originator of the military band, and I thought it was a great benefit. I visited there a long time ago when I traveled to Turkey and Greece for 4 weeks each. There was also an exhibition where you could visually understand "The Fall of Constantinople" by Nanami Shiono, which I read before visiting, and I was deeply moved when I saw the Golden Horn from the walls of Theodorus the next day. The combination of books, museums, and archaeological sites is a self-proclaimed combination, but I'm glad that my imagination deepened. (Original) 私が伺った当時は入館料が他と段違いに安かったです。軍楽隊の元祖ともされている伝統ある軍楽隊の演奏も観ることが出来て、とても得したと思いました。 ずいぶん前にトルコとギリシャを4週間づつ旅行した時に訪れました。 訪れる前に読んだ塩野七生著「コンスタンティノープルの陥落」を視覚的に理解出来るような展示もあって、翌日に行ったテオドシウスの城壁から金角湾を望んだ時は感慨ひとしおでした。 本と博物館と現場の遺跡という組み合わせは自画自賛になりますけど、とても想像が深まって良かったです。
