The Istanbul Historical Peninsula Model Exhibition was prepared in a scale of 1/87. Hundreds of sources were examined for the Historical Peninsula region of Istanbul, and architectural drawings were created from scratch for each model piece. The models, which were printed using 3D printing machines and hand-painted individually, were then animated using electronic circuits and stepper motors. The construction of this exhibition involved extensive teamwork and the combined effort of numerous modelers, architectural software users, programmers, and electronic technicians, totaling thousands of hours.

In our exhibition, you can see models of several important structures such as the Sultanahmet Mosque and Madrasa, Hagia Sophia Mosque and Madrasa, Hippodrome, Ibrahim Pasha Palace, Sultanahmet Tombs, Hunkar Kasri, Bagdat Pavilion, Mecidiye Pavilion, Fatih Pavilion, Has Bahce, Iftariye Kameriye, Elephant Garden, Imperial Mint, Museum of Oriental Antiquities, Istanbul Archaeology Museums, Harem Hospital, Has Ahirlar, Besir Aga Mosque, Sogukcesme Street, Hurrem Sultan Hamam, Church of Saint Irene, tombs, the Fountain of Sultan Ahmed III, and the Chamber of Petitions.
