Abstract:

The ancient concept of work, addressed in the context of reform efforts that began to form with Tanzimat, began to develop as a result of interaction with the West. European researchers have begun to explore the rich Ottoman geography in terms of ancient works. In this case, it has been tried to bring certain measures to the investigation of the old works and to prevent their expulsion abroad. The fact that some of the provisions are insufficient has led to some problems in the application. Mr. Osman Hamdi has not reached the desired stage in this matter until the time. European states have tried to protect their interests on the Ottoman under the old image of the work search. With the 1884 Nizamname in the Ottoman Empire, ancient work understanding and research was able to reach a line close to today's understanding. For 89 years it has remained the only ancient art law in Turkey. Ancient works revealed throughout the country have been brought to Istanbul and exhibited in the Museum-i Hümayun. He has begun to feel his weight in this area. This development in the Republic constitutes the foundation of today’s archaeology and museum understanding.
