Age-Long History of the Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n

The story of the museum which is affiliated to Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts in fact is dated back to late Ottoman Empire period. Halil Edhem, who took over the directorship of Archaeology Museum from his brother painter and archaeologist Osman Hamdi Bey, firstly started to work for establishing a \u201cpainting and engraving\u201d museum. The artworks he could collect from local artists and copy works of European artists for young painters to learn about them has became the first art collection. In 1917, a guide line about the establishment of the museum approved by the Sultan V. Mehmed Re\u015fat but unfortunately museum could not be opened due to various reasons. The main concern of the Early Republican museology was aimed at archaeology and etnography instead of art; that\u2019s why the dream of establishing a fine arts museum came true barely at the end of this era. Museum was opened after 14 years of the proclamation of the Republic, with the order of Atat\u00fcrk. The Apartment of the Heir Apparent of Dolmabah\u00e7e Palace was assigned to the Painting and Sculpture Museum and then museum was affiliated to State Academy of Fine Arts. The museum which was opened and closed many times due to different reasons in the following years finally bid farewell to the Appartment of the Heir Apparent with an exhibition that referred to 1937 exhibition and curated by Zeynep \u0130nankur and Semra Germaner in 2009.<\/p>\n
