Rahmi M. Koc Museum Ankara, Industrial museum in Altındağ, Turkey

The expansive museum exhibits a collection of vintage transportation vehicles, industrial machinery, and communication equipment across two historic Ottoman-era buildings.

Located in Çengelhan, constructed in 1522 under Sultan Suleiman by Rüstem Pasha, the building served various purposes before becoming a museum in 2005.

The museum displays technological artifacts that highlight Turkish industrial development, from early tractors to pioneering electronic devices and maritime equipment.

The museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 to 17:00 and weekends from 10:00 to 19:00, with adult tickets priced at 350 TL.

Within the inner courtyard stands the original shop where Vehbi Koç, founder of Koç Holding, started his business career.

Visiting Ankara: historical monuments, museums, and archaeological sites

Ankara, the capital of Turkey, features evidence of twenty-five centuries of history. The Ankara Citadel overlooks the city from its hill at 978 meters above sea level, with 16-meter-high stone walls. The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations occupies a 15th-century Ottoman caravanserai and displays archaeological collections from the Paleolithic to the classical era. Atatürk’s mausoleum, built in 1953, exhibits personal items and documents of the founder of the Turkish Republic in its 3,000 m² museum. Roman remains include the Augusteum from the first century BC, decorated with Latin and Greek inscriptions, as well as the Roman Baths from the third century. Religious landmarks reflect different periods: the Hacı Bayram Mosque from 1427 retains its marble decorations and Ottoman calligraphy, while the Kocatepe Mosque, completed in 1987, can hold up to 24,000 people. The Ethnographic Museum displays costumes, carpets, and musical instruments from Turkish regions, completing a journey through the cultures and civilizations that shaped this Anatolian city.
