Since 1918, KOCABAS has been internationally recognized as the top expert in Turkish, Ottoman and Anatolian Art and Antiquites. KOCABAS is not only a highly esteemed name and ultimate expert in the international art and antiquities world; KOCABAS has become a legend for its contribution to the recognition of Turkish culture and Anatolian heritage in Europe and the USA. KOCABAS was also the first to establish a private museum in Turkey. Today, many art collections and art objects in Turkish museums state "THE KOCABAS COLLECTION & THE KOCABAS MUSEUM" as provenance. An extensive part of THE KOCABAS COLLECTION can be seen today at the Istanbul Sadberk Hanim Museum, Istanbul Archaeological Museum, Official Museum of Bursa, Official Library of Bursa, Yapi Kredi Bank Collection, Saint Benoit Collection, Mimar Sinan University Museum and the Kocabas Collection.​
