This jewel-box museum in a restored Tepebaşı hotel houses the famous Tortoise Trainer by Osman Hamdi Bey — the most beloved painting in the Turkish canon, sold at auction in 2005 for US$3.5 million. The Orientalist painting collection on the upper floors offers fascinating glimpses into how Western artists imagined the Ottoman world. The rotating exhibitions are consistently excellent.
