Full description

The Mehmet Akif Ersoy Şiir Müzesi focuses on the poet who wrote the lyrics of the Turkish national anthem, while also including works and photographs of many other writers. Visitors describe the museum as tidy and peaceful, and mention that staff are attentive and willing to guide guests through the collection, which includes original manuscripts.

It is small, with a typical visit of about 45 minutes, and rarely crowded, so it suits anyone with an interest in Turkish literature looking for a quiet stop.
