Review:
Built on the grounds of Topkapi Cultural Park, this award-winning museum is Turkey’s first panoramic museum. Its awe-inspiring painting takes visitors on a 360° journey through the history of the Siege of Constantinople in 1453 complete with music and sound effects. A team of artists painted more than 10,000 battling figures on the inside of the museum’s dome, which can be seen from a viewing platform that follows the circumference of the room. Multi-language audio guides are available and descriptions of the epic scene are placed throughout the room on plaques that line the viewing platform.
