The Museum of the Ancient Orient (Turkish language: "Eski Şark Eserleri Müzesi") 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 (Sanâyi-i Nefîse Mektebi), 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.
The Museum of Ancient Oriental Art is temporarily closed to visitors due to the restoration and display arrangement works to be carried out in accordance with the approval dated 12.05.2022 and numbered E.2490117 received from the General Directorate of Cultural Assets and Museums of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
