Introduction
The Istanbul Museum of The History of Science and Technology in Islam opened in late May 2008. These are in the former stables of Topkapi Palace on the outer wall of the gardens around the palace. Other buildings along outer wall are still under renovation.
When I visited on 26 May 2008, a few days after the museum had been opened by the Turkish Prime Minister, they were still getting set up. There were well presented exhibits with well illustrated explanations and outstanding animations showing how the devices displayed functioned. However, the signs for showing the door where not yet installed, making the museum difficult to find.
