Museum of Holy Prophets

At Istanbul, Turkey

By

Sachi G. Dastidar

            During our visit to Istanbul, Turkey in the summer of 2023, we visited one of most important museums containing artifacts of many saints and prophets and preachers, including Prophet Mohammed. Rulers of Ottoman Empire collected those items that now attracts thousands of tourists every day. We were told that this was the most visited museum in Turkey. I am sure this is very true, as we visited many other museums in the city.

            There is now word to express our tributes to those in display.

            Istanbul is a remarkable and thriving city. Even at 2 am or 3 am in the morning many streets and areas thrive with tourists and local residents enjoying life, at times even with their babies.


            Here are some pictures from the museum’s collection:
