The Ataturk museum is the place where the first steps to resurrect the Turkish nation took place. It was home base to Mustafa Kemal Ataturk for a brief time in Turkey.
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk stayed at the building between 1918 and 1919. Mustafa Kemal drafted his plans to build a modern Turkish Republic at this place. He did this with the help of his solider and civilian staff. The building’s first floor was a staff room and dining room. The 2nd floor was for meeting, with bedrooms, and contained an office. On the third floor, Zubeybe Hanim (Ataturk’s mother) and Makbule (his sister) resided. The city municipality purchased the Ataturk building in 1928 and converted it to a museum in 1942.
The museum displays a large amount of significant items and Ataturk’s personal belongings. This includes some of his clothes, uniforms, handwritten letters, documents, medals, and his souvenirs. It also contains pictures of his life as a soldier and civilian. The museum also displays his Marshall uniform and clothes he wore during the Sivas Congress. These clothes and uniforms are some of the most important items in the museum. The Sivas Congress was an assembly of the Turkish National Movement. The congress at Sivas made a large number of vital decisions fundamental to shaping the future policy conducted in the frame of the Turkish War of Independence.
Some other interesting items include cigar boxes, writing sets, and a wooden radio. The wooden radio was a gift from US President Roosevelt. There are also original works of art. The original pieces displayed in the museum include the watercolor paintings of V. Pisani. The paintings illustrate the Turkish War of Independence.
