Sabanci Museum's collection of precious manuscripts and extensive collection of 19th and 20th century paintings are on permanent exhibition in the rooms of the original house and gallery annex. The museum also hosts national and foreign exhibitions.
Sakip Sabanci Museum is part of Sabanci University, and therefore also functions as an educational institution. In this respect, educational programmes at various levels are held in the museum, and at weekends musical events take place here. Museum website gives online coverage of both permanent and temporary exhibitions and other museum events. The museum is designed to facilitate visits by the disabled.
The three ground floor rooms of the Horse Mansion have been preserved as they were when the Sabanci family lived here, with the original furnishings and 18th-19th century works of art.
The collection includes 18th and 19th century Chinese Famille Noire and Famille Verte porcelain, polychrome vases and decorated plates. An impressive collection of 19th century French porcelain, including large numbers of Sèvres vases, and German porcelain produced in Berlin and Vienna are among the most valuable items in the collection.
