Beşiktaş JK Museum: A Pinnacle of Sports History and Culture in Turkey
The Beşiktaş JK Museum, notable for being the first sports museum in Turkey, was inaugurated on December 11, 2001, inside the İnönü Stadium, making it the country’s first private sports museum. It was officially registered by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism on June 28, 2007, under the authorization number 112603. Revitalized with a contemporary museum perspective, our museum reopened to visitors on February 14, 2017. Located through the historic 19 Mayıs Gate of Vodafone Park, the Beşiktaş JK Museum extends over two floors, spanning an area of 1650 m², and is the largest sports museum in Turkey.
Our museum reflects the 117-year history of our club, Beşiktaş JK, a witness to the sports history of our country. It aims to provide a source of contemporary sports culture. In transforming our museum collection into an informational object, our applications focus on enhancing your experience, taking you on an enjoyable digital journey.
