The Department of Foundations (Vakiflar) of Turkey has a very rich carpet and kilim collection, and selected samples of this collection are exhibited.

In Sultan Ahmet Mosque carpets are displayed in the sections next to the Sultan's loge, and kilims in the vaulted galleries below the mosque.

The best examples of carpets from 14th -20th centuries are shown on the ramp leading to the loge and the rooms belonging to the sultans. All the carpets are restored in perfect condition, and are displayed in a modern concept.
