Just north of the Amir Taz Palace, behind a green door with an Italian Institute sign, this museum is essentially a meticulously restored Ottoman-era sama khane (ritual hall) where Mevlevi whirling dervishes would hold their ritual whirling dance (the sama).The beautiful wooden structure, with intricate painted decoration, is hidden behind stone facades; entering feels like discovering a secret little jewel box.
