Popular art and traditions
Edit ThisAlmost opposite the al Wazir khan a little doorway leads into the Museum of Popular Art and Traditions , installed in the 18th century Ageckbash palace. The side rooms are furnished with decorated chests, sofas and chairs inlaid with pearl-shell, ebony and ivory. There are many mirrors, lamps, samovars and other objects in 19th century Ottoman taste. The displays in the glass cases are more interesting: blue and brownish glassware, ewers, plates and dishes of steel or damascened bronze, finely-chased silver. There is jewelry too.
