Full description

The Atatürk Museum occupies a house where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk lived, and it presents paintings, medals and related items connected to the founder of the Turkish Republic. Reviewers call it small but worthwhile, note that entry is free, and mention that explanatory texts are mostly in Turkish.

Visitors pass a security check at the entrance and sometimes queue to get in. The visit takes about an hour at an unhurried pace, with little walking involved, and it appeals to anyone curious about modern Turkish history.

Reviews

A small free museum to visit, as Ataturk used to live here. For a free museum, it is quite good. Although it is all in Turkish, which is fine. I'd not go out of your way to see it
