Painting Museum (Crown Prince Apartment)
It is one of the most important sections of Dolmabahçe Palace, reserved for the residence of the Crown Prince who would succeed the Sultan after his death. Today, it is used as a painting museum. It contains hundreds of paintings by local and foreign painters, depicting the Ottoman History, the Ottoman Geography, figures of the period, and artistic objects. Some of the paintings are anonymous and are of remarkable beauty and artistry. Some of the collections were assembled by being purchased directly by Ottoman Sultans and statesmen.
Saray Collections Museum
In this museum, which has a different hangar-style exhibition concept, historical objects related to the experiences at Dolmabahçe Palace are displayed. In other words, unlike the jewelry and jeweled items we see in palace exhibitions, the everyday items used by the palace residents are exhibited. Photographs of the members of the late dynasty, toys, notebooks, drawings, clothes, and other belongings from their childhood and youth, general-use items from the palace kitchen, carriages, birdcages, ceramic stoves, figurines, and hundreds of other everyday objects are on display.
