Hacı Ömer Sabancı bought a mansion known as the Atlı Köşk, dedicated to the horse statue on his land, from the Khedive family. During the many years that the Sabancı family lived in the mansion, the mansion always hosted a large collection. Especially the private collection consisting of Sakıp Sabancı's own calligraphy and paintings attracted a lot of attention.
In 1998, the family donated the mansion to Sabancı University and wanted it to be turned into a museum. In the museum, where you can see Sakıp Sabancı's private collection, as well as books, furniture and decorative objects, there are also works by Abidin Dino. Apart from this, works of different artists are also exhibited in this museum at certain periods.
