Coming to the final part of the Royal collections, today I want to showcase some of their armory and thrones. I have visited many museums around the world but never seen something as royal as this. This is truly royal and rich. Other museums do give a glimpse of their history and culture but not as extravagant as this one. Istanbul has 2 such Palace museums. The other one is Dolmabahçe Palace, I did not visit that, and I wonder how that one must be. Will it have the same type of collection, better or less.
The tickets of this palace museum are expensive, 50 euros per person but after going through it, I felt it is worth the price for what I could see here. I should have reserved a full day for this place; I had no idea it would be this good. Not only the indoors but the outdoors as well. The Ottoman empire was truly very rich, royal and thriving. I only wonder what if these monarchies would be still existing. But then to think of it, it is all public's money on which they were living such luxurious lives.
A royal throne, made of gold
That's the view outside from one side of the palace.
Even the mugs were studded...phewww....it just makes me feel like so poor :-)
That's a royal one. I have seen many armories but not studded with diamonds and jewels, this is one of a kind. Wearing this would make it completely safe in the war because every single body part is completely covered up. When you visit multiple museums and see these kind of common things, you can compare the economic condition of that place during that time and for sure the Ottoman empire was killing it.
It's a baby cradle
Ladies bag and boxes
Another throne, this one is high so it has a stool to climb up
This seating is made of wood and marble
Arms and ammunitions
That's the end of it. There are few more parts of this palace, which I will share at a later time. Hope you all enjoyed watching this series of the Palace museum. This is the life of the Rich and Royals.
