Its main hall uses a circular panorama painting and physical set pieces to recreate Seljuk Konya in the 13th century, where Rumi lived, along with his funeral, accompanied by sound effects and narration. Other galleries cover Rumi's life, the Mevlevi Order and the whirling dervish. Open about 9:00–17:00 (closed on Mondays).
