The Javed Manzil Museum Renovation Project has reached an important milestone with the successful completion of its first phase.

During this stage, detailed site surveys, architectural measurements, and functional analyses were carried out to fully understand the existing structure. Based on this work, a comprehensive renovation strategy and preliminary design framework were developed, setting the direction for the transformation of the museum.

Following this progress, TİKA’s technical team from Türkiye visited the site to review the designs, exchange ideas, and discuss the next steps of the project.

This project aims not only to restore a historic building, but to reimagine it as a modern museum space that preserves and shares a shared cultural legacy with future generations.
