While the place of the Mevlana Dervish Lodge, which is used as a museum today, was the Rose Garden of the Seljuk Palace, Alaeddin Keykubad was presented to Sultânü’l-Ulemâ Bâhaeddin Veled, the father of Mevlana. While the museum area was 6,500 m² with its garden, it reached 18,000 m² with the sections organized as a Rose Garden by expropriating the place. It has expanded to the 19th century with the additional buildings built on the land for centuries passing through the tomb, which has been actively used since 1231. Mevlevî Dergah and Tomb started to serve as a museum in 1926 under the name of “Konya Âsâr-ı Âtîka Museum”. In 1954, the exhibition and arrangement of the museum was revised and the name of the museum was changed to “Mevlana Museum”. SOON Light & Project designs and products were used in all lighting designs and products of this unique work, which is the second most visiting place in Turkey.
