The compilers of the collection lived in a cultural atmosphere combining the Ottoman grace with the Western originated world vision and life style. The heterogeneous identity of the culture of ‘transition’ created after Tanzimat Reform Era was also reflected in the Collection of Tek-Esin Foundation, and artworks from Ottoman Empire, Europe, Near East, India, Tibet, Far East and even Mexico decorated the living rooms and corridors of the house. For this reason, the collection not only attracts the attention of art historians working in different areas but also those interested in social history of our country.
