While summer is often associated with travel, leaving the city is not always an option. For those spending the season in Istanbul, immersive cultural experiences are becoming an increasingly popular alternative.

Müzeverse, Türkiye's first virtual reality museum, invites visitors to explore different eras and civilizations without leaving the city. Located at Galataport Istanbul, the venue has welcomed nearly 60,000 visitors since opening, offering a collection of VR experiences that blend history, culture and science through immersive storytelling.

The museum's experiences transport visitors from the construction of Egypt's Great Pyramid and medieval Europe to the origins of life on Earth and a vision of the future, providing a unique cultural destination for summer visitors.

Inside Great Pyramid

One of the museum's newest experiences, "Mystery of the Pyramids – The Ancient Legacy of the Masters," takes visitors behind the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Unlike the earlier "Journey to the Pyramids: Discover Ancient Egypt" experience, this production focuses on the people who built the monument rather than the mystery surrounding it.
