Atatürk Museum :
House where Ataturk lived and worked before the War of Independence during his stay in Istanbul between 1918 and 1919, originally was built in 1908 and restored by the Municipality of Istanbul in 1943, opening to the public in 1981. Top floor of this building was reserved to His mother Zubeyde Hanim and His sister Makbule, meanwhile Ataturk used middle floor for himself and lower floor for His loyal officer.
About Atatürk Museum :
Atatürk Museum (Turkish: Atatürk Müzesi) is a historic house museum dedicated to the life of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of the Republic of Turkey. It is located in the district of Şişli, on the European side of Istanbul, Turkey.
It is located in a three-storey house built in 1908. Atatürk rented the house after returning from the Syrian Front and lived there with his mother and sister. He lived there until May 1919 when he went to Samsun. The building was bought in 1928 by the Istanbul Municipality and Atatürk's belongings were stored there. The house was converted to museum and opened to visitors on June 15, 1942 as Atatürk Revolution Museum.

Many may visit the Museum simply to relive the novel, others to visualize it in object, others to commemorate the author’s legacy, and others to satisfy a curiosity for the absurd. But like any museum, there are two types of visitors for whom this very site exists. The first are those who come to reaffirm, commemorate, and satisfy their faith in what is, and the second are those who come to deconstruct and unsettle the orderly. The prior see the museum as a compliment to what exists, reifying it and the latter see it as an corruption of what is. From the little that has been written so far about the museum, it appears even the Turkish press has embraced the prior. It is seen as one in a long string of museums worldwide dedicated to the celebration of writers such as the Dickens House and Museum, the Musee de Victor Hugo in Paris (built in 1903), and the Alexander Pope grotto-turned-museum. However, I have a nagging suspicion that while the majority of visitors to this museum will be those who admire and embrace, Pamuk’s intention is to deconstruct and gently satirize history—individual and collective—in modern Turkey.
