This page is about one place: Istanbul Archaeological Museum, a spot in Istanbul with a story of its own. The story itself lives in the myTuur app, and it begins when you arrive and the app knows you are standing there.

Spots like this one are the stops myTuur strings into tours through Istanbul. In the app, each story begins where you stand: walk up to a spot and it starts, read it on screen or listen as you go, then follow the route to the next one.
