The Exhibition Hall of the SUNA & INAN KIRAÇ KALEIÇI MUSEUM is the Aya Yorgi (Saint George) Church, considered to be one of the cultural assets with monumental qualities inside the Old City of Antalya. It is covered with a single -space vault over a rectangular plan and its general reflects the typical characteristic of Mediterranean architecture. Although its construction date is unknown, an inscription indicates that a major restoration was carried out in 1863. But the building again decayed. This structure was acquired by Suna & Inan KIRAÇ and restored by the architect Dr. M. Sinan Genim between 1993 and 1995. Rendered back to its original state the building's interior and the ceiling symbolizing heaven are adorned by fine brushwork decorations in different shades of blue.

Now, concerts and cultural activities are held and various works of art selected from Suna & Inan Kirac Collection are exhibited in this pleasant setting.
