“THIS SUCCESS IS NOT AN ACCIDENT…”
Altındağ Mayor Dr. emphasized that the success of Altındağ's museums worldwide is not a coincidence. Veysel Tiryaki "Both of our museums are very important places not only for Altındağ or Ankara, but also for Turkey and the world... Altınköy Open Air Museum is a much larger and more comprehensive museum compared to other examples in the world... In addition, since this is an urban transformation area, it is also a very successful example of urban transformation... Ulucanlar Prison Museum is a very valuable area both politically and historically... After it was closed for use as a prison, its demolition was on the agenda. We took responsibility and restored it as a museum. "We opened its doors to visitors. It is given an award every year because it is the most visited private museum in Turkey. This success is not a coincidence, it is the result of the right decisions and appropriate steps."
Pointing out that all of the museums on the list are natural museums or state museums, Mayor Tiryaki said, "As a district municipality project, only Ulucanlar Prison Museum and Altınköy Open Air Museum are on the list. As a district municipality in the center of Ankara, we are proud of the success of our 2 museums, which we have created with effort from beginning to end, and we welcome visitors from all over the world to visit Altınköy and Ulucanlar."
