Time Travelling
Today I will pass on my first day at SteMit and my experiences with the Ankara Koç Museum I visited today. Opened in 2005, the museum is located next to the Ankara Castle. The museum has two parts: Çengelhan and Safranhan. Çengelhan was built in 1522 approximately 500 years ago. Safranhan was built in 1521. The museum's founder and first President of the Republic of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is a part of. A rich collection dating back to Atatürk's (1881-1938) clothing, office supplies and photographs from various personal items is included in this section. Ataturk's personal belongings as well as some 1920 objects that idea of Turkey are exhibited in this particular part of the year.
The museum consists of the following sections:
Ataturk
Highway transportation
Rail transportation
Marine
Aviation
Tradesmen Street
Machines
Scientific tools
Contact
Toys
Agriculture
Medicine and Pharmacy
Daily life
You are entering the museum and you are starting your journey to the past. When I go, it's a different chance if I do not come to the toy house collection that is exhibited specially. In this special collection, toy houses and models, which are widely used in Europe, especially at the beginning of the 1900's, and designed for rich adults from children, were remarkable. This 3 or 4 storey model has all details carefully designed in the houses. There are quite a lot of places in the museum that will take you back and surprise you.
