Entrance to Museum
The museum, which is built on an area of 2000 square meters, is a cultural stop that resists time, where live cars are exhibited and can be visited while enjoying the music of that period. This museum consists of two different part of floors and has divided the cars according to the years. In the first part, the ground floor houses mainly American cars and motorcycles from the 1950s and 1960s, accompanied by a recreated 1950s diner with neon signs and a jukebox playing medieval hits. The second floor on the upper floor houses a reconstructed European bar and, most importantly, the museum's private collection of European cars. In addition, a small library, model racetrack and other collections welcome you on the same floor.
Highlights of the fully intact collection on display at this private museum include the 1952 Jaguar XK120 Roadster, 1954 Chevrolet Corvette, 1955 Ford Thunderbird Convertible, 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing and 1960 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II. Ataman Classic Car Museum exhibited more than 60 cars from 1920 to 1970. With its decoration and unique collection, the museum is an alternative venue for special meetings, corporate events, celebrations, and birthday parties.

The closest bus stop to the museum is the Metin Oktay stop. You can reach this bus stop by using 25C, 29D, 29M1, 41C, 41SF, 42 and 59RH numbered IETT buses.
Unfortunately, the closest metro stop to the Ural Ataman Classic Car Museum is the Haciosman stop, which is more than 2 kilometers away. Even if you go to the Haciosman stop, most of the IETT buses we mentioned above depart from that stop too, so you are still better off using the buses.
Get DirectionsThe Ural Classic Car Museum has been serving of its Tarabya location since 2000. It is full of vintage cars, each of which has played a significant role in the development of the automobile. The museum continues to be a unique venue that offers perfect service for meetings, private dinners, cocktails, birthday parties, and especially weddings with its décor and singularly beautiful collection. The museum is known as the place for classic automobile enthusiasts, where more than 60 cars from the period 1920-1970 are on display.
The Ural Ataman Classic Car Museum, one of the few museums in Turkey dedicated to classic cars, displays vehicles from that era, each of which has a unique narrative. The museum, which occupies 2,000 square meters, is a cultural attraction where living automobiles are on display and may be explored while being entertained by era-appropriate music. Based on the antique automobiles and the way of life of the eras they belonged to, a line that combined the old and new was discovered as the museum was being created. Neon billboards, hubcap collections, and huge billboards were combined in harmony; these elements are also crucial to the area's illumination. A bar area that is an identical recreation of the "diner" fast food joints popular in the 1950s and 1960s America can be found in Block A, which is utilized to display American classics.
One of the highlights of the museum is the model automobile collection in the same area. The British Bar, which reflects European flair and is made of warmer materials, is located on the upper floor of Block B, where European cars are on display. It contains a library fit for a museum, a piano, memorabilia, and a miniature race track for historic cars.
