These mosaics are the original pavements from the early Ottoman period. Beautifully laid and together with the ample information supplied one can only just wonder at the splendour of the time. Enjoy the quiet after the buzz of the Bazaar. A small fee is charged but worth it.

The Mosaic Museum is easy to find among the shops in the Arasta Bazaar. Although it's small, I find it a great museum as they've tried to restore many of the mosaic floors found from the ancient palaces from the Byzantium times in the Sultanahmet area. If you have time, just stop in!

Terrific examples of mosaics in a well designed (well, altered), space

Interesting only for those who don´t go to Izmir, the true capital of mosaics. In my opinion, you also don´t need to go that (just reasonable) museum to have a good sample of the world famous turkish mosaics, as it is very easy to see and experience in most of the mosques.

great small museum, interesting mosaics without the crowds

Kind of tucked away, apparently not so popular museum has good variety of mosaics, scenes of people and animals, not religious themes.

We were the only visitors early in the morning and loved the museum. The mosaics are brilliant. One of our favorite museum in Istanbul

It is one of the most spectacular mosaics I have seen and well worth spending... More
