How to Buy a Museum Pass? 2026 Prices and Inquiry Guide

There are three practical ways to get a Museum Pass — pick the one that feels fastest for you:

1. Via e-Devlet (the fastest): Sign in to your e-Devlet account, type "Müze Kart İşlemleri" in the search bar; after you pay, your digital card (QR code) becomes active at once.
2. "Türkiye'nin Müzeleri" mobile app: Download the app, create a membership and start using your mobile Museum Pass as a QR code at once — you do not need to wait for a physical card.
3. From museum box offices: Go to the card-issue stations at the entrance of large museums with photo ID (T.C. identity, passport or driving licence); the process takes a few minutes and you receive the card in person.

If you applied online, the physical card is shipped to your address in about a few days; if you do not want to wait, the mobile Museum Pass is more practical because it can be used at once.

If you are checking which museum in which city accepts the Museum Pass, for that MuseConnect Museum Pass pages you can use them city by city — each museum’s card acceptance is marked separately.

• Night museum events (Nemrut, Ephesus, Göreme and similar) are not covered by the Museum Pass; a separate paid e-ticket is required.
• The card is personal and cannot be used by anyone else; if misuse is found, the card is cancelled.
• Expired cards cannot be extended; a new application is required.
