Topkapı Palace Museum Armoury and Privy Chamber Exhibition Fit-Out

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.

With showcases designed down to every detail, climate control and special lighting, it offers visitors the comfort of modern museology. The magnet-based display technique drew great acclaim in the exhibition fit-out work and became a focal point of visitors' interest. In addition, a map panel was created from Piri Reis's Kitab-ı Bahriye.
