The museum is a part of Sahip Ata building complex.

Sahip Ata was a vizier, equivalent to government minister in modern time, of the Sultanate of Rum in the second half of the 13th century.

During the Ottoman Empire period, the complex underwent restoration works in 1570, 1702, 1825 and 1848.

The items are historical artifacts collected from various mosques in the provinces Konya, Aksaray and Karaman.

There are also stone artifacts, original firmans and a historical wall clock.
