Where to go in Istanbul



Turkish Press Museum

The Press Museum was established in 1988 in an historical neo­classical building which had been built in 1865 as the original building of the former Darülfunun, the first Ottoman university. This museum contains paintings of individuals who made important contributions to the development of the press in Turkey, as well as their personal belongings. There is also a collection of historical printing press, including that of Ibrahim Muteferrika, the founder of the Turkish press.
