The Harbiye building, currently used as the Military Museum and Cultural Complex was built in 1841 in order to educate officers for the Ottoman Army. In this school which continued its function also after the founding of the Republic of Turkey many officers and commanders were educated for a period of nearly 100 years. Among these, the most important, beyond question, is the founder of the Republic of Turkey and the Great Statesman Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

Thus,  Atatürk holds a very prominent place in the Military Museum.

Tents Gallery
The tent, which had an important place in the life of the Turkish Nations since the early period of history was also used during the Ottomans era and has developed throughout centuries maintaining its significance.The pole, or poles forming the backbone of the tent are made of wood and tent emblems symbolizing sovereignty are placed in the external sections.

The Ottomans made use of tents in wars; in the state administration units of the palace organization and in recreation and entertainment locations in daily life as well as for the needs of the judicial system and health requirements. The shape, size, material and decoration of tents varies by the social degrees of the owners.

Ottoman tents are grouped on the basis of their support systems. 'Sayebans' comprise a group as sunshades. The 'Otağı Humayun' , the Imperial Pavilion on the other hand, forms a separate and distinct group both in terms of its dimensions and decorations and in terms of its function. The finesse of the Ottoman adornment arts can be observed in the  'sayebans', single-pole tents, double-pole tents, tent sections, tent poles and finial ensigns displayed in the Military Museum 's  Tents Hall.
