Construction of Topkapı Palace began in the late 1450s on the orders of Mehmed II shortly after the conquest of Istanbul; used from 1478 to 1856 as the administrative and residential center of the Ottoman dynasty, it was converted into a museum in 1924 and remains one of the principal palace complexes preserving the imperial collections in their historic setting.

Exhibition fit-out for the Armoury section and Privy Chamber of Topkapı Palace Museum, including magnet-based display systems, showcase design, information panels, and a map panel derived from Piri Reis's Kitab-ı Bahriye.
