Visitor Information — Checked 9 October 2026

Construction of Yusuf Ziya Pasha’s mansion began in the 1910s and was interrupted during the First World War. The unfinished building acquired the name Perili Köşk. Later work preserved its exterior character while adapting the interior for offices. Its weekend art-museum use should not be mistaken for a fully preserved historic domestic interior.
