Sahip Ata Museum is an ethnography museum in Konya, Turkey. It is under the supervision of Directorate General of Foundations.
The museum at 37°52′03″N32°29′40″E / 37.86750°N 32.49444°E is in Meram secondary municipality in Konya. [1] Both the archaeology museum and the ethnography museum of Konya are close to Sahip Ata Museum.
The museum is a part of Sahip Ata building complex. Sahip Ata was a vizier, equivalent to government minister in modern time, of the Sultanate of Rum in the second half of the 13th century. The complex was composed of a mosque, a madrasa, a hammam and a number of fund-raising shops for the maintenance of the building complex. The tomb of Sahip Ata is also situated inside the complex. The construction began in 1258, and it was completed in 1277. [2] The name of the architect was Kölük. During the Ottoman Empire period, the complex underwent restoration works in 1570, 1702, 1825 and 1848. During the Republican period, further restorations took place in 1945 and 2006. [3] Following the last restoration, it was developed as a museum.
The museum exhibits 220 ethnographic items. The items are historical artifacts collected from various mosques in the provinces Konya, Aksaray and Karaman. These are carpets, hand-written Qurans, candelabras, swords, beads, etc. The wooden doors from the mosques are especially notable. There are also stone artifacts, original firmans and a historical wall clock. Admission to the museum is free of charge. [4]
İnce Minareli Medrese is a 13th-century madrasa located in Konya, Turkey, now housing the Museum of Stone and Wood Art. Some of its notable features are the calligraphic portal that serves as the entrance to the complex, its covered dome at the center of the courtyard, and the highly ornate minaret attached to the complex, partially destroyed in 1901. The Medrese is significant because it encapsulates many themes that emerge in Seljuk Anatolia and its corresponding architecture, such as a centrally-planned dome and elaborate ornamental brickwork.
Following the proclamation of the Republic, Turkish museums developed considerably, mainly due to the importance Atatürk had attached to the research and exhibition of artifacts of Anatolia. When the Republic of Turkey was proclaimed, there were only the İstanbul Archaeology Museum called the "Asar-ı Atika Müzesi", the Istanbul Military Museum housed in the St. Irene Church, the Islamic Museum in the Suleymaniye Complex in Istanbul and the smaller museums of the Ottoman Empire Museum in a few large cities of Anatolia.
