About
The third headquarters building of Türkiye İş Bankası in Ulus is one of the landmark structures planned as the administrative and financial center of Ulus during the early Republican period. Designed by prominent architect Giulio Mongeri, the building reflects the First National Architectural Movement style, inspired by Seljuk and classical Ottoman architectural elements. The museum opens the original vault rooms in the basement to visitors, as well as specially preserved private areas on the ground and first floors. These floors also showcase a collection of photographs, documents, artifacts, and films highlighting the bank’s history of economic independence. On the second floor, a permanent exhibition titled “Presented with Pride by Türkiye İş Bankası” details the bank’s communication activities and social contributions. The museum also includes an art gallery and a temporary exhibition hall, which has hosted the “Independence” exhibition organized for the 100th anniversary of the National Struggle, part of which has been held in Istanbul. On the museum’s fourth floor, the Atatürk Library was established to commemorate İş Bankası’s 100th anniversary. The library offers extensive resources and databases and serves students, academics, and researchers.
