the mosaics in the museum, behind istanbul's blue mosque (sultanahmet camii) on torun sokak, just off the arasta çar?'s? (arasta bazaar; map), are lively, artful images of 90 different hunting scenes, mythical beasts, fantastic objects and imaginings, with 150 characters over a mosaic area of 250 square meters, perhaps the largest single installation of mosaics to survive from late antiquity (450-550 ce).
