The Sadberk Hanim Museum is located on the European shore of the Bosphorus, in the Buyukdere district in the northern part of Istanbul. It is one of Turkey's first major private museums, established by the Koc family foundation and opened in memory of Sadberk Koc. The museum is dedicated to archaeology, Islamic and Ottoman decorative and applied arts, as well as the ethnography of Anatolia.

Its collection spans a wide time range - from ancient archaeological finds to objects from the late Ottoman period. The exhibition includes ceramics, glass, metalwork, jewelry, manuscripts, textiles, and everyday objects. Thanks to this combination, the museum offers an opportunity to see not only the artistic styles of different eras, but also materials, techniques, and everyday culture.

A special place is occupied by the ethnographic collection, which includes traditional costumes, textiles, embroidery, jewelry, and handicrafts from different regions of Turkey. This part of the collection helps provide a better understanding of local customs and the diversity of Anatolian traditions. For visitors interested in the history of the Ottoman Empire and the country's culture beyond the major palace museums, this is an especially useful and vivid exhibition.

The museum is housed in historic waterfront buildings, and the location itself adds context to the visit: here you can combine viewing the collection with a walk along the Bosphorus shore. People come here not only for individual exhibits, but also for a calmer, more focused introduction to Turkish art and history away from the central tourist routes.
