  • Osmanlı'dan Günümüze Türkiye'de Müzeler
    Türkiye Araştırmaları Literatür Dergisi, Cilt 7, Sayı 14, 2009, 315-333 Osmanlı’dan Günümüze Türkiye’de Müzeler Halit ÇAL* AVRUPA’NIN Osmanlı Devleti’ni tasfiye planının öncüsü olarak uygulanan oryantalizm hareketinin temellerinden birini de arkeoloji ve kazılar oluştur- muştur. Avrupa devletlerinin bu konudaki talepleri ve Osmanlı Devleti’nin buna karşı koymaya çalışması son derece ilgi çekici ve ibret alınması gereken bir süreçtir. Konunun yayınlarda ele alınışına bağlı olarak önce müzeciliğin dünyada nasıl ortaya çıktığına değineceğiz. Müze Kavramı ve Dünyada Müzeciliğin Başlaması Günümüzdeki anlam ve işleviyle müzeciliğin dünyada ne zaman başladığı konusunda değişik görüşler ileri sürülmüştür. Türkiye’de ilgili yayınlar bazıla- rı çelişkili, yetersiz bilgiler tekrarlanıp durmuştur. Yunan mitolojisindeki her biri güzel sanat dallarının koruyucusu olan, tanrı Zeus’un dokuz kızının ortak adı olan mousa kelimesinden geldiği, Atina’daki bir tepeye veya tepedeki bir odaya müze denildiği, Helenistik dönemde İskenderiye, Bergama, Antakya, Roma’da içinde kütüphaneler ve kıymetli eşyalar olan müzeler kurulduğu belirtilmiştir. Bu bilgilere doğrudan atıf da yapılmadığı için karmaşanın ana kaynaklardaki bilgi azlığından mı yoksa yorumların yetersizliğinden mi kay- naklandığını bilmiyoruz. Bu müzelerde toplanılan kıymetli eserlerin neler olduğu, kıymetlerinin madenlerinden dolayı mı yoksa işlevlerinden mi kay- naklandığı, bunların hangi amaçla buralara konulduğu açıklanmamıştır. Aynı şekilde eski Türk devletlerinde yöneticilerin bu tür eserleri biriktirdikleri ko- nusu da belgelere dayandırılmamıştır. Devlet kurabilmiş toplumlar dönemin- den itibaren eski Mısır, Asur gibi devletlerde ganimetlerin saraylarda korun- maları müzeciliğin ilk uygulamaları olarak yorumlanmıştır. Roma’da koleksi- yonculuğun asiller arasında yaygınlaşması, bazı heykellerin halkın ziyaretine açıldığı bilgisinin ardından bu uygulamanın Ortaçağ’da da sürdüğü ifade edi- * Prof. Dr., Gazi Üniversitesi Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi Sanat Tarihi Bölümü Öğretim Üyesi.

It has gained attention with the contribution of Prof. Dr. Semavi Eyice who described the painting as “a view of Ankara” rather than the view of the city of Aleppo which was described as such before his study of the painting. The View of Ankara is not only important for Ankara studies as being the oldest painting of Ankara that is known but also it depicts various stages of mohair manufacture and the Angora goats being shorn on the foreground and points to the mohair trade which had been central to the economy of the city of Ankara.

  • Ankara City of Treasured Archaeological Sites
    2012-07-28 Soraya Othman Ankara City of Treasured Archaeological Sites “If you are not conservative, then you cannot be a conservationist,” was a phrase quoted by Prof. Baykan Günay from Middle East Technical University (METU) in a special plenary session held during The 26th Annual Congress – AESOP 2012, which I have attended in mid of July 2012. His presentation about The Spatial History of Ankara was remarkable and provided me with an in-depth understanding about the richness of historic structures in Ankara from a variety of empires such as Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman. As a guide to the process of exploring the approaches of conservation, I decided to visit some significant archaeological heritages. The Citadel area and old bazaars marked the beginning of my journey, where I discovered a couple of souvenir shops at the entrance of the Ankara Castle. As I walked further, it led me the inner area of the castle where it is filled with art galleries, restaurants, old houses with lively community and the valuable 12th century Alaaddin Mosque. The mosque recorded the Seljuk art and wood craftsmanship, but its characteristics have been altered due to the restorations by the Ottomans. Knowing that in the past, Ankara used to function as an important commercial center during the Roman period, I was not surprised to find some Roman stones with inscriptions on some of the buildings’ walls. Later that day, I visited the remains of Roman Theatre, followed by a visit to the amazing Temple of Augustus and Rome (built between 25 BC – 20 BC) which is situated beside the 15th century Haci Bayram Mosque.
