The Museum of Istanbul project is going out to tender once again by the decision of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. The Istanbul City Museum, which has been a longtime dream project on the agenda of the city during the last couple of decades,  is getting ready to host its visitors and the residents of Istanbul with social areas.

Istanbul City Museum focuses on social history and memory, through stories and human experiences, to create an open atmosphere encouraging its visitors to re-think the meaning of being an Istanbulite. The museum aims to reveal a memory where Istanbulites can rediscover their own cultural identity with new experiences and stories about the city.

Istanbul City Museum will tell the 8500-year-old story of Istanbul with its location right next to the historical land walls and an inventory of 10 thousand pieces waiting to be included in the museum narrative.
