Agree with another reviewer Charly Streff. First impressions count and the woman with curly hair at the ticket counter / reception was quite cold (in stark contrast to the warm, helpful and friendly nature of the Turkish people). This maybe something to do with this particular location (i.e high end, touristic etc.)
The entrance ticket is exhorbitant at 60 TL, for a limited exhibition in just 3 small rooms. Whist the exhibits themselves were quite interesting; any attempt at quietly reflecting on them became impossible when a crowd of around 30, 5-6 year olds were brought over by a half dozen teachers, with explanations going on in the background to their noisy tots. There's much that could be done, to improve the overall experience. Perhaps in line with similar contemporary museums in other parts of the world, i.e. Tehran.
