About
The Istanbul Military Museum (Turkish: Askerî Müze) is a museum of military history located in Şişli, Istanbul. The museum is focused on Turkic history, and exhibits a large collection of Turkish military equipment from the 13th century to the modern day. The museum was founded in its modern form in 1959 by the Turkish Armed Forces, which continue to operate it.
The museum has been noted for propagandistic displays and omission of non-Turkish perspectives. It adopts a pro-Turkish stance on the Turkish invasion of Cyprus and has a hall dedicated to denying the Armenian genocide.
