One of Turkey's finest collections of carpets and flat-weave rugs ishoused in the İmaret building, the mosque's former soup kitchens. The collection includes pieces weaved throughout Anatolia between 14th and 20th centuries The first gallery is dedicated to carpets from the Seljuk Empire, the second gallery displays carpets produced during the height of the Ottoman Empire, and the third gallery shows more recent carpets and prayer rugs from Uşak.

I love the great carpet from sultan Ahmet and Süleymaniye camii.

Very small. Nothing much to see: carpets have only geometrical figures and most of them are in very bad condition. Entrance is 10 TL.

It costs ten liras when I went. What I liked is the touchscreen device that let you scroll through the info quickly, to the section that explains the difference patterns and their meaning. Seems like few ppl go in, so I pretty much had the place to myself on a rainy Wednesday.

If you are into carpets, you must visit this museum. Even if you are not that interested in carpets, you should visit. The museum spreads across the back side of Hagia Sophia so the nominal entrance fee gives you access to a side of Hagia Sophia most people don’t see and there is no crowd. I went when it first opened in the morning.

Went on a field trip here with students. They loved the motifs. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. I would recommend going for a short trip.

What I love most in the Kilim museum, is the history that is interwoven in the carpet itself... To think that a tribal lady has acctually sat days and months to weave it by hand, no machins and modern stuff - truelly amazing...
