CUMHURİYET DÖNEMİNİN SİMGE YAPILARINDAN ANKARA PALAS MÜZE OLARAK AÇILDI

Ankara Palas, one of the iconic structures of the Republic period, has opened as a museum.

Designed by Architect Kemalettin, Ankara Palas, one of the monumental buildings of the early Republic years, has opened as a museum.

Ankara Palas, formerly known as Ankara Vakıf Hotel, served as a social facility for members of parliament and a guesthouse for official visitors during the early years of the Republic. The 96-year-old building, which has witnessed many significant events in Turkish political life, has been transformed into a museum by the Presidency of National Palaces while preserving its original structure, and it opened to visitors in February.

Located directly across from the Second Parliament Building in Ulus, the building was constructed between 1924 and 1927. Its initial design was made by Architect Vedat Tek. After Vedat Bey left the project, the construction was completed according to the new design by Architect Kemalettin Bey, and it began service in 1928 with a capacity of 120 beds.

The Ankara Palas State Guesthouse building, which has a rectangular shape, is considered one of the examples of the First National Architectural Movement. The three-story building, including a basement, features a large ballroom in the center, a tea and game room with a terrace in front, and a dining room at the back. The facade of the building is adorned with tile decorations.

The Ankara Palas Museum, which has completed its restoration, enriched its collection, and organized according to modern exhibition criteria, awaits its visitors in 5 halls within an indoor area of 1000 square meters, open from 09:00 to 17:00, except on Mondays.

Visitors can enter the museum for free until the end of the Ramadan Feast, where paintings, clocks, technological tools, silverware, tableware, manuscripts and printed works, items used by Atatürk, diplomatic gifts, Hereke weavings, Beykoz glassware, Yıldız porcelain, medals and decorations, seals and coins, and selections from the treasure collection are displayed.

The seating set used by Atatürk, his desk and personal belongings, special gifts presented to Ottoman sultans, albums, and the dining table set up with the tableware used in the Palas are among the prominent works in the museum.
