Panorama 1453 History Museum
45 reviews
April 7
It is a very interesting museum, both for tourists and locals, and even groups of schoolchildren are brought to see a historical light show about the victory of their ancestors and the formation of the Ottoman Empire. I think it's worth a visit, the panorama is interestingly designed and the soundtrack enhances the impression of being in the middle of a battle and the tragedy of the death of the defenders of the city. The corresponding surroundings are created by the weapons elements and cannon barrels scattered around. After visiting, you can walk along the fortress walls and even find out the place that is represented in the Panorama of 1453. The fortress wall is just a couple of hundred meters from the entrance to Panorama 1453 and it is simply impossible to neglect a walk, and the photos will remind you that when you visited the ruins of Tsar Grad, as the Slavs once called this city, our ancestors.

Very beautiful light and video performance. The fortress wall has been preserved nearby and there is a park for walking. And the mosque, of course. There's a free toilet there, by the way.

It is not recommended for Russian tourists to visit, especially if you are not interested in Turkish culture. For 10 minutes, albeit a spectacular light show, we paid 3,000 rubles. For two people. An excursion to the Hermitage at the same cost, by comparison, can take the whole working day. Not 10 minutes ((( and impressions and information are hundreds of times more expensive than money spent. The same cannot be said about visiting Panorama 1453.

The museum is awesome! Built with private money. The cost for foreigners is very different. For children, the ticket costs the same as for adults 720 liras) there are about 200 locals) we were in a hurry to attend the performance and missed the start of the museum, we were not allowed to go back.

Beautiful park. The hole punched by Mehmed Fatih in the walls of the city is impressive. Orban's gun is not real. The history of an ancient empire ended here.

We entered the museum by chance and expected something else, paying 700 lire for admission
There are several paintings in the museum itself, which describe the events of the conquest of Constantinople.
Then they show a five-minute show about the conquest
I would like to see more detail and more immersion in the events of those years.
It's obviously not worth your money, it's far from the center, and I don't recommend it.

Of course, the idea is interesting, the show is too simple (5D was possible for that kind of money), but it ends too quickly and there is no addition in the form of exhibits.

It didn't make much impression. We saw the panorama in Sevastopol earlier and liked it more. Although I recommended a separate guide. He liked it very much, he said. I won't recommend it.

Tells about the event that took place at this place. The disadvantages are that there is little object volume, there are no figures of people in the foreground, only painted ones.

First of all, this is not a museum, but an attraction to raise pride in your country. Of what is really valuable, these are several Ottoman charters and relics displayed on the upper floor at the entrance. Next, you go to the panorama hall under the dome, where you are shown a cartoon about Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror and how he captured "Istanbul" (actually Constantinople). It is impossible to understand something from this cartoon, and it is not necessary, the main thing is that Mehmet is cool and bent everyone down. And this is for 500 lire. The panorama itself is made lazily, the people are not sculpted, but painted on the wall, so you won't be able to check out the costumes.
I gave 3 points out of 5, because at the exit in the bookstore I found beautiful catalogs of mosaics from the monastery of Chora and St. Sophia, 300 lire each😊

An excellent panorama of the siege of Constantinople and descriptions of the events of that era. There is a beautiful park around, a convenient public transport hub nearby.

It is definitely not worth your money (650 lira October 2024), but for those who are interested in the story of the capture of Constantinople in an interactive format, I can recommend you to visit. We combined a visit to the panorama with a walking route along the walls of Constantinople and the fortress of Edikule. It fits perfectly into this format, as for me

I would not advise a person who does not speak Turkish or any language of the Turkic language group, the panorama will not cause any inspiration from a person of another ethno-cultural group, and it is expensive. But I liked it, I estimated the ticket price as a fee for viewing paintings (on the panorama itself it is just beautiful with a lot of details). The video presentation is extremely uninformative, a kind of Turkish analogue of films about the Neva or Kulikovo battle

A great piece of history. It is clearly, naturally, plausibly shown how and by what methods the fall of Constantinople took place, although it is described a little pretentiously.

A magical place
A sense of reality
It's like I'm in the past.
It's so realistic that the pictures and the design are almost tearful .

A couple of floors with information about how Constantinople was captured, and a spectacular panorama where a light show is shown every 20 minutes. The location of the museum is next to the very wall that is being "stormed" in the museum. I can advise all history lovers

The analogue of the Borodino panorama is only for Turks. It is highly recommended for understanding the Turkish and, in particular, the Istanbul worldview. Especially if you then plan a trip along the coast with a tour of the Greek history of Asia Minor.

Undoubtedly, it is worth visiting the Panorama, to see the last moments of the existence of the Eastern Roman Empire, as they say, firsthand, presenting yourself as a witness of those events, the benefit of the sound design allows you to feel even more authenticity of what you saw, well, and going outside, already in reality to contemplate the ruins of the ancient walls of Constantinople and even climb them a little)

The museum is not worth the time spent.
Tickets for locals are 80 lira, for tourists 500. We were with a child, there is no discount. There is a queue for the performance itself, you need to stand for 20 minutes among the portraits in the corridor.
The video broadcast on the dome of the museum is weak, slightly outdated graphics, voice acting in Turkish. It was not clear to a 9-year-old child interested in history.
I didn't like it.

We stood in line for 40 minutes and were notified at the cash desk that there were 50 lira for locals, and 250 for foreigners, that is, at the exchange rate at that time 1200 rubles. As a result, we were outraged and did not want to be suckers. Let them look at their own stands for that kind of money.

The panorama itself is very good and the technical equipment is at a high level. What didn't you like: 1) All information is only in Turkish, there are no audio guides 2) No factual information, no maps 3) The pathos is off the scale and the reliability of the reconstruction is questionable. 4) The main message is "we are great conquerors."

The panorama leaves much to be desired. The story presented to the audience is distorted.
Audio guides are missing.
From the outside, the building looks gloomy.

An interesting place, the panorama allows you to personally imagine the capture of Constantinople by the army of Mehmed the Conqueror. The atmosphere of those years and those events is recreated around the perimeter of the exposition. According to the principle of the diorama, the attributes of the battle are in the closest approximation, such as weapons, including cannons, bows, etc., and means of transporting guns. The viewing is accompanied by a soundtrack simulating a medieval battle. There can be a lot of people, visitors are photographed against the background of images and this makes it difficult to view.

The panorama is dedicated to a defining episode of Turkish history - the capture of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453. It consists of a painting and a diorama. Unlike other similar expositions, it is accompanied by sound effects. The domed panorama creates the feeling of being in the middle of a battle. In the panorama lobby there are stands with explanations in Turkish and English and, of course, a souvenir shop. It is allowed and even encouraged to take photos. Many municipalities of Greater Istanbul organize free city tours for everyone, which include a visit to the Panorama.

A well-made panorama. A beautiful painting, complemented by living objects, hand-painted scattered on the mound of earth. And all this is complemented by the sounds of battle! After leaving the panorama, you look at the walls near which it is located in a different way.
