I highly advise anyone visiting Ankara to include the Rahmi M. Koç Museum in their itinerary. Located in the historic Çengelhan building near Ankara Castle, this museum offers a unique and interactive experience unlike any other in the city. It focuses on the history of industry, transport, communication, and daily life, showcasing Turkey’s technological and industrial development in a fun and engaging way.

What makes this museum stand out is the variety of its exhibits. From vintage cars, old trams, and steam engines to classic radios, typewriters, and scientific instruments, there is something here to captivate every visitor. Children and adults alike can enjoy the hands-on displays and learn how things work through interactive models and demonstrations. The museum does a great job of combining education and entertainment.

One of the highlights I personally found fascinating was the detailed display of Atatürk’s car and the collection of antique toys and model trains. The museum also features sections on maritime history and aviation, including impressive models and restored machines. It feels like stepping back in time, walking through the evolution of modern life and innovation.

The setting itself—inside a beautifully restored Ottoman-era inn—adds a charming atmosphere to the experience. It’s not just a museum visit; it’s a journey through time and ingenuity. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, I believe the Rahmi M. Koç Museum will leave you impressed and inspired. If you want to understand the past and see how it shaped our present, this is the place to...

Rahmi Koç Museum Ankara is a scaled down replica of the one in Istanbul. Cars, old radios, old bicycles, you name it. Personally, I consider these two museums one of the best in Europe, in their genre. This museum must be visited. It is located in the vicinity of the historical Ankara Kalesi. Next to the museum is another compact but very good private museum, Erimtan. If you walk 500mt down, you will have the opportunity to visit the crown jewel, Anadolu Medeniyetleri müzesi, (Anatolian Civilizations Muuseum). I will not explicitly list all item groups displayed at RMK museum, only to mention my favorites: The smiling Buddha figures collection of late Turkish comedian Zeki Alasya, an exceptional display of small Buddhas, primarily of ivory, and ceramics. I have never encountered a similar collection previously anywhere. Vintage radios, specifically two models, a Zenith Trans-Oceanic and a National. I have a sentimental connection to these because same models exist at my home, a souvenir of my late father. Zenith Trans-Oceanic was the royalty of short wave radios. It was manufactured by Zenith Electronics, from 1941 till 1979. During those years Zenith was a USA company, which was purchased by LG Electronics of South Korea in 1999. Next to RMK Museum, you can enjoy a good coffee and sweets at...
