About Türk Telekom Telekomünikasyon Müzesi

The Türk Telekom Telecommunications Museum (Türk Telekom Telekomünikasyon Müzesi) is an education, science and technology museum in Türk Telekom's head office building in Aydınlıkevler, Altındağ. It opened to visitors in 2002. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism's Kültür Portalı describes it as the first and only hands-on museum in the field of communications: rather than only looking at exhibits, visitors can touch and use equipment and try things out to see how communication technology has developed. Its 402 objects trace that history from the past to the present. The museum is laid out as three connected halls, two for exhibitions and one for practical demonstrations. Its main audience is schools, and it is aimed at visitors of all ages. Entry is free. According to Kültür Portalı it is closed at weekends, on public holidays and on religious holidays; the Türkiye Turizm Ansiklopedisi notes weekday opening during office hours and that school and group visits need an appointment. Kültür Portalı advises reaching it by public transport serving the Aydınlıkevler area.
