three types of exhibitions. The first group is composed of exhibitions showing the advancement of science and technology in
Anatolia down the ages. The second group includes exhibitions showing the enhancement of technologies such as writing,
medicine and textile. The third group, on the other hand, is composed of exhibitions where certain working spaces (blacksmith,
coppersmith, pharmacy, photography studio and laboratory, radio repair shop etc.) from Ottoman and Republican periods
are reconstructed. In these collections, the replicates of archaeological objects and the originals of Ottoman and Republican
periods objects are put on display.
