The Galatasaray Museum, officially the Galatasaray University Culture and Art Center, is in Galatasaray Square in Beyoğlu, Istanbul, Turkey. The source says it was founded in 1868 to share the traditions and history of Galatasaray with the public. It first opened at Kalamış Bay and moved to Galatasaray High School in 1919.
The museum occupies the former Galatasaray Post Office building, which was restored and remodeled for museum use. It was renovated and reopened in December 2009 under its current name. It is described as the first sports museum in Turkey.
The first floor covers the history of Galatasaray High School, including student uniforms, classroom equipment and photographs. The second floor displays the club's most important trophies and sports equipment.
