The Sakıp Sabancı Museum, which opened its doors to the public in 2002, is an art museum located in Emirgan, one of the oldest settlements of the Bosphorus in Istanbul. The museum is known for its rich collection of calligraphy and paintings. It also hosts temporary exhibitions featuring the works of many renowned artists, making it a significant cultural hub in the city.
The Atlı Köşk: Home of the Sakıp Sabancı Museum
The Sakıp Sabancı Museum is housed in the Atlı Köşk, a villa that was originally built in 1927 by the Italian architect Edouard De Nari for the Khedive family of Egypt. The villa, which was used as a summer residence for many years, also briefly served as the Montenegrin Embassy. It was purchased by Hacı Ömer Sabancı in 1950 and has been known as the 'Atlı Köşk' (Equestrian Villa) since then, due to a horse statue placed in its garden by French sculptor Louis Doumas in 1864.
The Museum's Diverse Collection
The Sakıp Sabancı Museum's collection is diverse and rich. It includes rare handwritten Qurans as part of its Ottoman Calligraphy Collection. The museum's painting collection features examples of early Turkish painting and works from foreign artists who worked in Istanbul during the last period of the Ottoman Empire. This collection includes works from local artists such as Osman Hamdi Bey, Şeker Ahmed Paşa, Süleyman Seyyid, Fikret Mualla, and İbrahim Çallı.
