Mosaic Museum

Imperial Palace Mosaic Museum, Great Palace Mosaic Museum, Mosaic Museum, Mozaik Müzesi
Turkey, Istanbul
This small museum is located on the site of the ancient Imperial Palace, from which almost nothing remains. All the mosaics presented here were found during excavations at the site of the Arasta bazaar in the thirties of the last century.
The museum collection includes about 90 different genre mosaics illustrating the features of everyday life and mythology in Byzantium: everyday scenes, children's games, mythical creatures, exotic animals, hunting scenes, fights between animals, etc. Mosaics amaze with their realism.
Some of the mosaics are quite well preserved, others are worse, but they are all quite compact and very convenient to view.

The Mosaic Museum is located near the Hagia Sophia. It is not easy to find the entrance to the shopping arcade, but we strongly wanted to get into it. Half an hour later, we found the entrance. It cost 35 lira, the museum itself is small, there are few frescoes, they walked around in 10 minutes. Not a soul in museums. Who was in Tunisia at the Bordeaux Mosaic Museum, these are not even part 10. I do not advise if you are not an archaeologist or an artist.
