Beykoz Glass and Crystal Museum

The museum occupies a renovated 19th-century barn within Abraham Pasha's former estate, displaying 1500 glass and crystal artifacts across twelve thematic sections.

The Ottoman state established the Imperial Glass and Crystal Factory in Beykoz during 1846, producing items for both palace needs and general consumption.

The collection presents Turkish glass craftsmanship from the Seljuk period through Ottoman times, including palace utensils, perfume bottles, and decorative pieces.

The facility includes a specialized glass art library, multi-purpose workshops, a café, and a gift shop within its 3000-square-meter exhibition space.

A 700-year-old glass plate from Kubadabad Palace demonstrates early Turkish glass decoration techniques such as verbena and gilding.
