Çengelhan Rahmi M. Koç Museum
Ankara Rahmi M. Koç Museum, located opposite the main entrance of Ankara Castle, was opened to visitors in 2005. Rahmi M. Koç Museum, the first industrial museum of Ankara, consists of two main sections, the historical Çengelhan and Safranhan.
Çengelhan, which was built during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, is one of the rare structures that has survived to the present day and preserved its originality. Çengelhan, which also hosts a shop used by Vehbi Koç, the founder of Koç Holding, when he started his business life, was restructured in accordance with its original form during the restoration work carried out between 2003-2005. In April 2005, it was opened to visitors as a museum affiliated to the Rahmi M. Koç Museum and Culture Foundation. Safranhan was built in 1511 and served as a typical Anatolian caravanserai. The inn, which was used as a prison in the last periods of the Ottoman Empire and the first years of the Republic, was opened to visitors as an extension of the museum after the restoration works that lasted until 2016. The museum, which has a rich variety from small models to steam engines and classic cars, is home to more than 4 thousand objects in 32 rooms that reveal the past of many industries from maritime to road transport, from aviation to medicine.
