Çengelhan Rahmi M. Koç Museum

The Çengelhan Rahmi M. Koç Museum occupies a historic protected building and displays collections of transport vehicles, scientific instruments, and machinery across multiple exhibition levels. The spaces contain agricultural equipment, transportation gear, communication devices, and a dedicated section for carpets.

The building was erected in 1523 during Sultan Suleyman I's reign as a warehouse for mohair yarn. It was converted into a museum in 2005 and has housed these collections since then.

The museum dedicates spaces to honor different aspects of Turkish craftsmanship and industrial growth. Visitors can see how the displays tell the story of how the nation developed its manufacturing traditions.

The museum is open daily except Mondays and spreads across multiple floors that are readily accessible. Visitors should allow plenty of time to explore all areas, especially if they are interested in transport vehicles or historical manufacturing techniques.

The museum was housed in a building that originally stored mohair yarn, creating a link to Ankara's historical textile trade. This transformation shows how old structures can serve entirely new purposes.
