Geocache Description:




ISTANBUL ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUMS

The Istanbul Archaeological Museums is located in Istanbul's Sultanahmet neighborhood, on the Osman Hamdi Bey slope connecting the Gülhane Park with the Topkapi Palace. Its name is plural, since there are three different museums under the same administration: The Archaeological Museum, the Ancient Orient Museum (Eski Sark Eserleri Müzesi) and Tiled Kiosk Museum (Çinili Kösk Müzesi).

During an Istanbul Archaeological Museums tour, it is possible to visit the extraordinarily beautiful garden of the museum and the three different buildings inside this garden. Plase consult following web site for details about all three museums :
( http://www.istanbularkeoloji.gov.tr/about_the_museum ) We hid a small round plastic box wrapped in camouflage textile in the garden between stone blocks. In order to hide the box, we placed a stone cube over the box. The box contains, in addition to regular stuff like pencil, log-book, etc, several blue glass "nazar"s against evil-eyes [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_eye]. These nazars will not only protect you from bad eyes but they will bring you good luck if you keep them with you. A logical benefit of these beads is therefore to increase your FTF rate :) For those who are not superstitious, there are several Murano glass beads to take away :)

I suggest you to visit all three museums after your find. They are amazing!

Museums are open from 9 am to 4 pm all days of the week, except on Mondays. Entrance fee is 10 Turkish Liras (approx. 5 euros)

ISTANBUL ARKEOLOJI MÜZELERI

Istanbul Arkeoloji Müzeleri, Istanbul'un Sultanahmet semtinde, Gülhane Parki'ndan Topkapi Sarayi'na çikan Osman Hamdi Bey yokusunda yer almakta. Isminin çogul olarak kullanilmasinin nedeni, idaresi altinda Arkeoloji Müzesi, Eski Sark Eserleri Müzesi ve Çinili Kösk Müzesi olmak üzere üç ayri müzeyi bulundurmasidir.

Istanbul Arkeoloji Müzeleri gezisi kapsaminda müzenin muhtesem güzellikteki bahçesini ve bahçenin içinde yer alan üç ayri binayi ziyaret etmek mümkün. Sahip oldugu çarpici koleksiyonlarin yani sira müze binalarinin mimarisi ve bahçesi ile de tarihsel ve dogal öneme sahip.

Müzeleri burada anlatmaya yer yetmez. Çok detayli bilgiler bulabileceginiz bu link müzeleri tanimak için çok faydali : http://www.istanbularkeoloji.gov.tr

Müzenin bahçesinde bir köseye bir kutu sakladik. Yuvarlak formda küçük bir plastik kutuyu önce kamuflaj bezine sarip, tümünü de bir naylon torba içine koyduk. Bu kutunun üstüne de bir kaç tas ile kapatip kutuyu saklamaya çalistik. Kutu içinde, kalem, log defteri gibi klasik ögeler yaninda, ilk bulanlara sans getirecek (yani sizi çok sayida FTF sahibi yapacak :) mavi boncuklar var. Kutuyu bulduktan sonra umarim müzeleri de gezer ve bu çok zengin koleksiyonlardan keyif alirsiniz.

Müze, Pazartesi hariç, her gün saat 09.00 - 16.00 saatleri arasinda açik. Giris ücreti 10 TL.
