One of the most comprehensive, restored Urartian jewelry collections in the world is exhibited in Rezan Has Museum. Rezan Has Museum, which has enriched its collections in 2009, by including documents and objects belonging to the Cibali Tobacco Factory, shares its collections which shed light on the industrial, economic, political and socio-cultural history of Republic of Turkey with visitors through periodic exhibitions.

The museum consists of two main sections; thus thematic exhibitions of the museum are held in the hall located in the upper floor whereas the collection of archaeological artifacts are exhibited in the area surrounding two buildings from two different Imperial periods. Thus, the museum becomes an extraordinary place that connects the past to the future with its 11th century Byzantine water cistern and 17th century Ottoman structure.
