Istanbul Airport now with its own Museum

ISTANBUL, Aug. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Istanbul Airport, Turkey's gateway to the world, breaks new grounds with a new airport museum available to all international passengers. The Istanbul Airport Museum will kick off with the "Treasures of Turkey: Faces of the Throne" exhibition. This elevates the airport from a global hub with outstanding passenger service to a venue for culture and art, presenting pieces from throughout Turkish history for travelers to explore. Istanbul Airport joins other airports such as San Francisco or Amsterdam in hosting its museum.

Kadri Samsunlu, CEO of İGA Airport Operation Inc, comments on the opening of the museum: "We want to turn the time spent at the airport into an unique experience. Our aim is to turn our passengers attention on art and culture."

The exhibition comprises pieces of the prehistoric Göbeklitepe and Çatalhöyük eras, along with historic artefacts belonging to Anatolian civilizations and the many other periods.
