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.
