Çengelhan Rahmi M Koç Museum, Ankara

[major_clanger]

Work recently took me to Ankara, for a conference on Cloud computing organised by Microsoft Turkey. For the most part Ankara is a rather soulless expanse of office block, but in the historic centre there are a few attractions including the Çengelhan Rahmi M Koç Museum, a branch of the larger Koç Museum in Istanbul. We went there for lunch on the closing day of the conference and had a chance to look around.



It terms of atmosphere it very much reminded me of the Wellcome Collection, albeit with a wider focus; there was the same sense of someone finally having the resources to indulge in rampant collectormania regarding his pet interests.

The full set is here, with captions.

This I would not have expected...
