About Museum Of Ancient Orient
The Museum of the Ancient Orient is a museum in Istanbul, and part of the Istanbul Archaeology Museums complex, located opposite the main Archaeology Museum building. The museum is housed in the former building of the Ottoman College of Fine Arts, commissioned by Osman Hamdi Bey and designed by Alexandre Vallaury in 1883. The museum itself was established in 1935 in its current building, following the moving of the College in 1916.
