Talk:Istanbul Archaeology Museums

message: Today in the morning I referred to that Byzantinist guide I mentioned yesterday. He told me that the real name in English is "Istanbul Archaeological Museums". Just to be sure, I went to the museum, and saw that he was right. Here is what it reads at the entrance of the museum:
* Istanbul Archaeological Museums
** Archaeological Museum
** Museum of the Ancient Orient
** Tiled Pavillion
Here is the result of a Google book search for the term "Istanbul Archaeological Museums" just for verification: 124 items

message: Hi Gryffindor, I just wondered why you changed the infobox image. It seemed to me that the older one had more lively colors than the existing. Thanks. --Chapultepec (talk) 12:18, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Because the museum has been renovated in the meantime so this image is more up-to-date. Gryffindor 23:59, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

message: "It was the first museum to feature Turkish art". I have fact tagged that claim because it is obviously NOT true - for example, the British Museum (and many other museums) held many examples of "Turkish art" (whetever that actually means) such as Iznik tiles and pottery, and Ottoman military objects like weapons, armour, canons, etc. In fact, "Turkish art" (if one means the broader sense of Islamic art) was considered by the museum as unworthy of inclusion. Quotes from note 44, p192, of James Cuno's 2008 book "Who Owns Antiquity": "The museum began to collect Islamic art only in 1889" and he says that it was under the ideology of the Young Turks that the museum would "transform the Islamic arts section into an overt means of nationalist expression..." (i.e. to present that Islamic art as "Turkish art"). There would have been collections of Islamic/Turkish art in Turkey long before this date (the 1910s), so it is even incorrect to claim "it was the first museum in Turkey to feature Turkish art".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.143.19 (talk) 14:57, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
