If you’re interested in the history of the Ottoman attack on the walls this is an impressive place to go to get a bit of a feel for what happened at the walls which are only a very short walk away. I suspect it’ll rate much higher when they finish building the brand-new museum right next door, which seems to be coming in maybe half a years time But the panorama itself has been modernised quite well with some very good video effects. The entry halls on the way to it perhaps have more dated style delivery and information probably more like a 80s or 90s museum but the main panorama itself is quite spectacular.

A great spot for a one-time visit, this location offers a detailed pictorial journey through the 1453 conquest of Istanbul by Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror.

It features a captivating 3D panoramic illustration show that brings to life the historic battle and the city’s conquest.

Different experience than any movie or documentary on the subject, I was surprised…
However one wishing to visit ( recommended) should be informed on historical events and facts prior to the battle…
Once you get all information you will enjoy 3D spectacle

The 1453 Panorama Museum in Istanbul is an absolute gem that transports you back in time to one of the most pivotal moments in history—the fall of Constantinople. From the moment you step inside, you are enveloped in a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic painting that vividly captures the grandeur and intensity of the siege.

The attention to detail in the artwork is astounding; you can almost feel the energy of the battle and the emotions of the people involved. The museum is not just about the visual spectacle, though; it offers informative displays that provide context and depth to the events of 1453. The combination of art and history truly brings the past to life.

The layout of the museum is thoughtfully designed, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the experience. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, eager to share insights and answer any questions you may have.

In addition to the stunning panorama, the museum features various artifacts and multimedia presentations that enhance your understanding of this monumental event. It’s a perfect outing for history buffs and families alike.

This was an excellent museum and exhibit depicting the Constantinople conquest by the Ottoman Empire in the heart of Istanbul.

The exhibits and panels of descriptions were very informative as well as the staff who were relatively helpful with our questions and queries about the museum.

The tickets are affordable enough and definitely worth it.

I highly recommend visiting this museum if you want to understand more about Turkish and more importantly ottoman history.

Thank you to all of the staff for their assistance and this is an amazing exhibit and quite unique museum experience for those that aren't super interested in walking around, looking at exhibits and want to be totally immersed inside the environment of a certain historical scene.

It is a panorama with walls of Byzantion and türk soldars. A projection on the wall which don t show anything about historical facts or events. The projectiion lasts cca 10 mnts. It is not allow to stay inside more than 15 mnts.
Between shows there is a time around 20 mnts in which I had to wait. No chairs.
20 euro one tickets really no no no
Large descriptions in turkish just a few words in English

The place was significantly huge from inside and outside everything was planned very precisely. The emotional were literally crafted for the audience the pain and agony the antep city has to go through to be called gaziantep. They even had a small documentary in the cinema room inside which was english friendly to some extent. It had all the souvenirs and equipments of the battle areas. They even created a small real life inspired mannequins enhanced with sounds of animals and the environment to make it more lively and give the visitors a taste of what was being there like. we were students in turkiye therefore we got free entry.
