The Branding Journey

As you move toward the staircase leading to the first floor, illuminated wall panels present visuals related to industrial initiatives in Türkiye and the master-apprentice craft tradition. The selection spans the years 1875 to 1993 and is arranged chronologically.

The display includes 27 photographs featuring subjects such as Sümerbank, the Seyr-i Sefain Administration, factories, and industrial schools. Among them is the Sivas School of Industry, founded in 1902 and still serving today as a museum building. Visitors can also see examples of branch buildings of Bank-ı Osmani-i Şahane, established in 1863 and serving as an official state bank in its period.
