The Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Türkiye has introduced virtual tours for eight museums under its management. The initiative allows users to explore museum halls that have been digitalized in 3D, enabling 360-degree views and close examination of artifacts on display.
Among these is the Ankara Republic Museum, located in the capital. Originally serving as the building for the second Grand National Assembly of Türkiye, the museum is dedicated to the youth of the Republic. It documents significant historical moments, including Atatürk’s principles and reforms and the development of a multiparty system. Exhibits include photographs from the terms of the first three presidents, personal belongings of those presidents, as well as parliamentary resolutions and laws from that era.
“Yet another institution that put its know-how and expertise into good use to make its contribution with in this trend is the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Türkiye. The Ministry provides virtual tours of eight museums under its administration. At the museum halls digitalized in 3D, art lovers can embark upon 360-degree tours, taking a closer look at the artifacts on exhibit.”
“Situated in the capital, when the Ankara Republic Museum was launched, it was serving as the building of the second Grand National Assembly of Türkiye.
