| Hands-on |
| Education is the primary duty of any responsible Museum,
and the Rahmi M Koç Museum is proud of the fact that more than 60%
of its visitors are schoolchildren. Of course, in a sense the entire
collection is educational, but we have specifically arranged some
exhibits and activities for children to try out and thereby be both
entertained and informed. To find out more about our formal education
activities at the Museum, please click

Cutaway Car
 A
fully detailed working cutaway of a modern FIAT Palio prepared and
donated by Tofas, the Koç-FIAT joint venture in Turkey. Not only
can the detailed construction of the bodywork be seen, but also
the operation of the engine and gearbox.

Bellanca Aeroplane
 We
are fortunate indeed to be able to exhibit this full-size real aircraft
in this gallery. At weekends, a qualified expert shows visitors
around the plane, and it is even possible to sit in the cockpit
and try out the controls.

Scientific Experiments
 The
Hands-On gallery contains a series of specially-created demonstrations
and experiments, designed to illustrate a variety of mechanical
and physics principles. At weekends, a special teacher/instructor
is on hand to show children around and explain the purpose and effect
of each experiment.

Cutaway Domestic Goods
 The
cutaway car and lorries are joined by a fascinating array of working
domestic goods, each piece sectioned or transparent with working
mechanisms and co-ordinated lights to explain their function. Listen
to a tape or CD player, watch a TV or computer, and understand the
inner secrets of a dishwasher or vacuum cleaner!
