• Dolmabahçe Palace - Situated on the European side of the Bosphorus Strait in Istanbul, Turkey, Dolmabahçe Palace stands as one of the city’s most splendid landmarks. Constructed between 1843 and 1856 under Sultan Abdülmecid I, it served as the primary administrative hub of the Ottoman Empire until its dissolution in 1922. The palace showcases a fusion of Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassical, and Ottoman architectural styles, celebrated for its opulence, intricate interiors, and lavish decorations, including crystal chandeliers, gilded ceilings, and exquisite silk carpets.

Spanning 45,000 square meters with 285 rooms, 46 halls, and 6 hammams, Dolmabahçe Palace symbolized the Ottoman Empire’s modernization and European influence. It also holds historical importance as the location where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, passed away in 1938. Today, the palace functions as a museum, drawing visitors worldwide who come to admire its breathtaking design and rich history.

• National Painting Museum - The Painting Museum of Dolmabahçe Palace, located within the palace complex in Istanbul, is a prominent cultural venue showcasing a rich collection of 19th and early 20th-century Ottoman and European art. Situated in the former quarters of the palace staff, the museum was established to exhibit paintings from the Ottoman imperial collection, many of which were commissioned or acquired by the sultans themselves.

The museum’s collection features works by both Turkish and European artists, highlighting the Ottoman Empire’s increasing engagement with Western art styles during the late Ottoman period. Noteworthy pieces include portraits of Ottoman sultans, historical scenes, and landscapes, emphasizing themes of modernization and cross-cultural artistic exchange.
