CLOCK COLLECTION
TOPKAPI PALACE LIBRARY AND CLOCK COLLECTION
The Topkapı Palace Museum houses a rich collection of clocks, including luxurious European clocks gifted to the Ottoman Empire, and exceptional works by Ottoman clockmakers.
Unique clocks, such as the inlaid pendule made for Sultan Mahmud II on Napoleon's orders, are one of only seven in the world, complete with a landscape of Istanbul.
These clocks are exhibited in thematic galleries that include wall, pocket, table, and measuring instruments, making it an important center for the history of horology.

The Topkapı Palace Library, especially the Sultan Ahmed III Library (Enderun Library), is a key part of the palace complex in Istanbul, housing thousands of historical manuscripts, including ancient Qurans, scientific texts, and astronomical records.
These collections reflect the rich culture and knowledge of the Ottoman Empire, with its distinctive Ottoman architecture and beautiful Iznik tiles. The library serves as a research center and houses a collection of Islamic texts, scientific (medicine, astronomy), historical, and works in Western languages, collected since the time of Sultan Mehmed II.
