The building housing the Ankara State Museum of Painting and Sculpture was constructed on Namazgâh Hill by the architect and engineer Arif Hikmet Koyunoğlu (1888-1982). The museum's collections were assembled with great effort but at a relatively low cost. The Ankara State Museum of Painting and Sculpture is organized as a directorate within the central organization of the General Directorate of Fine Arts of the Ministry of Culture. The museum comprises three fine arts galleries (Korutürk, Arif Hikmet Koyunoğlu, and Sedat Simavi), three workshops (painting, sculpture, ceramics), a restoration workshop, six exhibition halls, a fine arts specialist library, the Oriental Hall, a concert-theater hall, an administrative section, a cafeteria, and storage areas.
