A very atmospheric small painting museum with a beautiful courtyard, garden, and the famous carved gate to the Bosphorus. In the museum you will see works by European and Turkish painters, and of course, the pearl is the Aivazovsky Hall with 20 works unknown to us. Not all are marine. In January 2025, admission cost 450 lire (audio guide for free on passport), together with the Dolmabahce Palace 1,500 lire. There is practically no queue here, unlike in Dolmabahce. There is a nice cafe on site. We had a great day

On the territory of the museum, a small green courtyard with swans and ducks, beautiful flowers and unusual vines captured my heart. There is a small garden with a beautiful view of the sea from the front of the palace.
The entrance cost on April 20 450 Turkish lira, as a deposit for a passport, they give you a Russian audio guide for free - they give you a card for your passport, which you return it to - the girl puts the passports in a special tray with you and gives you a number.
According to the reviews, I thought it was a small museum, but I was wrong. This is a two-storey palace in each hall of which paintings by great artists of the court of the Ottoman Empire, as well as paintings by the rulers themselves, are hung. A separate place in the great hall is occupied by Aivazovsky's works - more than 20 canvases, and his works are also sometimes found one at a time in other halls. There are benches in the halls for relaxing - I used them very often) It took us 3.5 hours to take a leisurely walk through the garden and visit the museum, listening to all the audio recordings.

My main desire in Istanbul is to visit the gallery of Dolmabahce Palace. The first thing I felt was: Giddy with happiness and puppy delight! In silence, because January is not the season for tourists, I stayed to look at Aivazovsky's paintings.
The gallery greets you with darkness, the paintings are spotlit, and you are immersed in a world of stormy waves and seascapes. Aivazovsky conveys light, water and atmosphere so that you can feel the cold breeze and the sound of the surf. It's not just art, it's magic that captures. Each painting is like a window into another world. It feels deeper than seeing pretty things.

It's a very pleasant place. I was just at the magnolia blossom. Cheaper entrance through: bypass Dolmabahce, 500 meters on the left to the inscription Resim Muzesi... entrance to the Museum 100 tour lira per adult, also a view of the Bosphorus through the gate

The art gallery is located on the territory of the Dolmabahce Palace Complex. It houses a worthy collection of paintings by world-renowned artists, mostly of the 19th century, among the works there are paintings by Osman Hamdi Bey, including the famous works by I. Aivazovsky (40 incredible works commissioned by the padishah). The only thing I didn't like about the lighting in large halls, compared to other art galleries, was that it wasn't uniform and didn't illuminate the paintings enough, leaving large glare on some of them, despite the different viewing angles, which made it very difficult to focus attention.
In small halls where the canvases are small, this problem is not noticed.
If you have an audio guide for exploring the Palace, then it will not work in the gallery, you need to return to the bureau again and reconfigure it.
Due to the uneven lighting of the canvases and the non-functioning audio guide, 4 stars to the organizers
