I think it's worth checking out the gift shop for unique souvenirs related to Mevlana. I found some beautiful items that aren’t available elsewhere in Turkey.

My advice is to take your time exploring the exhibits. The details are easy to miss if you rush through. I regret not spending more time by some of the beautiful artifacts.

If you're on a budget, check out nearby cafes for quick and cheap bites before or after your visit. I found a great spot just a few minutes away.

keep an eye on your belongings. there are some tight spots in the museum where it can get a bit cramped. i nearly bumped into a cute little statue!

Take advantage of the museum’s awesome audio guide. It’s super informative and makes the experience a lot richer without breaking the bank

Make sure to take breaks outside; the gardens are peaceful and perfect for chilling before heading back inside for more exhibits!

If you can, visit on a weekday around 10 AM. The crowds are way lighter then, and you can really soak in the atmosphere without feeling rushed

I suggest wearing comfy shoes since there’s a lot of walking through the exhibits. You don’t wanna be limping around mid-visit, trust me!

Make sure to bring a portable charger. I was snapping pictures and my phone died pretty quick. The museum is huge, and you might want to take tons of pics.

I think you should check out the special exhibits if you can. I stumbled upon one that wasn't in the main display and it was so fascinating! You don’t always know what will pop up.
