Which Museums Are Open During Ramadan Feast 2015?

The entrance of Topkapi Palace

Istanbul celebrates Ramadan Feast, as it happens to be at Turkey in general. Ramadan Feast is the end of the one-month-fasting and Muslims celebrate it for three days. Ramadan Feast is also called the candy fast, regarding to the colourful candies given as gifts. However, conservative people don't like that name. So, try to call it Ramadan Feast just in case.

At Ramadan Feast, many places are closed, including some museums. Some places are only closed at certain days or at certain hours. I'll write when some of the important museums of Istanbul are open during the Ramadan Feast so that you can make your plans accordingly.
