The Çengel Han
Rahmi M.Koç Museum
It is the first industry museum of Ankara. The
bazaar which is used as the museum building was
constructed in 1522. Çengelhan which is known to be
an affiliate of a foundation of Damat Rüstem Paşa,
the son in law of Suleyman, the lawgiver, is among
the rare buildings that maintained its authentic
structure in the bazaar region of Ankara. This bazaar
is located across the main entrance of the Ankara
Castle and close to covered bazaars in a location
which was called as Atpazarı (Horse Bazaar) in the
old days. Çengelhan, one of the four biggest bazaars
of its time, also played host to a shop where the
founder of the Koç Holding, Vehbi Koç, entered the
business life. The bazaar is reconstructed according
to its original plan during the renovation activities
carried out between 2003 and 2005. More than 4.000
objects reflecting the history of various different
industrial sectors varying from maritime sector to
highway transportation, from aviation to medicine
are displayed in 32 rooms of the museum. Objects
also showed rich variety in terms of size and small
models as well as steam engines and classical cars are
displayed together in the museum.
