Hala gezilecek kivamda. Kesinlikle besiktasa gittiyseniz burayi gezmeden donmeyin.

Beşiktaş meydanda bir müze. Merkezi bir konumda. Oldukça bilgilendirici ve verimli oldu. Kesinlikle gezilesi görülesi bir müze. 10 ve 6 yasinda kızlarimla gittik. Keyifliydi

Very interesting! My only comment is on the 2nd floor whistle sound, it was too frequent and too piercing. Also be aware that they prices on their website are not updated.
