The two-level building lines three sides of the main courtyard which is about seven meters above street level. The fourth side of the courtyard overlooks Atmeydani Square and harbours a structure under which is the main entrance to the building. The exhibition rooms of the upper floor display artefacts of the Ottoman and Seljukid period, such as calligraphy, textiles, and ceramics, while the lower floor houses ethnological and other temporary exhibitions.
