In celebration of the 55th anniversary of Korea-Turkey diplomatic relations, the National Museum of Korea proudly presents ‘The Civilizations of Turkey: Emperors in Istanbul’, the first large-scale exhibition held in Korea to examine the rich cultural heritage of Turkey.
The exhibition comprises a selection of approximately 150 objects from Turkey’s four leading museums: Anatolian Civilizations Museum, Istanbul Archeology Museum, Tokapi Saray Museum, and the Turkish and Islamic Arts Museum. ‘The Civilizations of Turkey: Emperors in Istanbul’ enables visitors to witness the interesting cultural assimilations born of contact and conflicts between diverse cultures, sub-cultures, and traditions, and in turn, promote a deeper understanding of world history.
