About Antalya Atatürk Evi Müzesi

Antalya Atatürk Evi Müzesi, the Atatürk House Museum, stands on Işıklar Caddesi in the Haşim İşcan neighbourhood of Muratpaşa. It is one of the units of the Antalya Museum Directorate of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The house is a two-storey stone building with a tiled roof, dating from the early twentieth century. It was used for a period as the governor's building. When news came that Atatürk would visit Antalya, local people cleaned and furnished it within a few days and presented it to him as a gift. After Atatürk's death the house passed to the provincial special administration, and from 1939 it was used as the building of an evening girls' art school and girls' institute. It has served as the Atatürk House and Museum since 1986. A long hall runs from the entrance, with a salon, a room, a bathroom and a kitchen on one side and two rooms and the staircase on the other. The upper floor has seven rooms, one of them with a balcony. The museum displays newspaper reports and photographs from Atatürk's visit to Antalya, and a documentary on Atatürk and Antalya can be watched. The museum's telephone number is +90 242 241 15 27.
