We have been to the museum on a number of occassions to attend events such as Art Deco fairs, but I had not been around the displays. The museum's exhibits are on five floors and there is a lot to see so I want to show some photos of my favourite items. There is a no-flash rule so some of the pictures are a bit dark.
The mueum has a large collection of artifacts from the Indean subcontinent. For me, this was really interesting stuff.

| A magnificent exhibit of an armoured Indian elephant. |
 |
| I don't know whether this was a model or a real, stuffed, elephant. |
 |
| The case behind the elephant, Indian bladed wapons |
 |
| and armour. |
 |
| The oriental room. |
 |
| A Turkish helmet. |
 |
| An Ottoman musket |
 |
| Ottoman firearms |
 |
| An Ottoman Sipahi from the front |
 |
| and from the rear. |
 |
| The elephant again, from the balcony. |
