The museum is owned by Koç family, which is one of the top 3 richest families in Turkey. Rahmi M. Koç Museum is a collection of great items such as vintage cars, sailboats, old trams & trains, warplanes, production units, toys and more. Also, there is an M. Kemal Atatürk part in the museum who is the founder of the modern Turkish Republic. There are many objects exhibited there that Ataturk wore or used. And so it's quite a big museum, it offers rich content. It should be noted that it is also quite a photogenic place to visit.
I've been to this museum 2 times. I like it so much. Especially in spring and summertime it is a pleasure to take a seat in the garden of the museum because the museum is situated on the shore of the historic Golden Horn.
