Museum Information
DESCRIPTION
The Rahmi M Koç Museum is the first major museum in Turkey dedicated to the history of Transport, Industry and Communications. Housed in magnificent buildings – themselves prime examples of industrial archaeology – on the shore of the historic Golden Horn, the collection contains thousands of items from gramophone needles to full size ships and aircraft. From 1753 horse carriage to 1976 Daimler Limousine: from tiny children’s’ bicycles to a huge Magirus-Deutz fire engine: the Road Transport department illustrates the history and variety of road transport through the ages. We have more than 40 cars and commercial vehicles, 10 motorcycles, a fine collection of vintage bicycles, and two very spectacular steam traction engines Inside there is a great lineup of classic cars, but some really interesting cars are being shown outdoors.
