Visit The Horse Mansion with a free guided tour.

Sabancı University students give free tours of the "Horse Mansion” in the S.U. Sakıp Sabancı Museum at 13:00 every Saturday.

The tour includes information on the statues surrounding the mansion and the furniture and painting collections on the bottom floor of the "Horse Mansion".

The SSM Painting Collection consists of select examples of early Turkish art and works of foreign artists working in Istanbul at the end of the Ottoman Empire.

The collection focuses primarily on 1850-1950 and includes works by local artists such as Raphael, Konstantin Kapıdağlı, Osman Hamdi Bey, Şeker Ahmed Paşa, Süleyman Seyyid, Nazmi Ziya Güran, İbrahim Çallı, Feyhaman Duran, Fikret Mualla and works by foreign artists such as Fausto Zonaro and Ivan Ayvazovski.

Three rooms on the ground floor of the Horse Mansion are preserved as they were when the Sabancı family lived there; they include furniture and decorative works of art from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Following the death of Hacı Ömer Sabancı in 1966, Sakıp Sabancı began to use the Horse Mansion as a residence; in 1998, the Mansion was given to Sabancı University with its collections and furnishings in order to convert it into a museum.
