Cultural Center & Lady Sultans’ Museum

Nevmekân Sahil is an art and culture exhibition center with a very extensive library and a beautiful cafe overlooking the Bosphorus. The Lady Sultans’ Museum is also a part of the same complex.

Nevmekân Sahil opened its doors to students, youth, art and culture lovers, and those people who have a great enthusiasm for learning. In addition to having a library with around 100,000 books, Nevmekân also hosts art, culture and music activities, and art exhibitions, and students are served free soup and tea every day after midnight. It has become an important location for Istanbul’s culture and art.

With a beautiful collection of sultana dolls, the Lady Sultans’ Museum reflects lives of numerous Ottoman lady sultans who left indelible marks on Üsküdar and Istanbul. Ottoman Lady Sultans were more than just aristocratic women. As they were the mothers, wives, or daughters of the Ottoman sultans, they played roles that every section of society could identify with.
