SALT Museum and Art Gallery

Today we visited the SALT Museum. We met at the library and after a short introduction our guide showed us the nice building and the exhibitions. The building contains a library, and exhibitions about architecture, design, and social and economic histories. First we saw models of all water reservoirs of Turkey and the exhibition of the history of the building. In the last part of the visit we got to know the marketing manager. The women showed us a presentation and told us something about the marketing concept, how SALT identifies in the public and how they finance. Interesting and nice trip!
