History of Ataturk Museum
Mustafa Kemal left Istanbul on 13 November 1918 after the end of the First World War and came to Istanbul. After having been in Pera Palas for some time, he became a guest in the house of his close friend Salih Fansa in Beyoğlu. Later, in Şişli, he rented a 3-storey house, now known as the Ataturk Museum.
Mustafa Kemal, who settled in the upper cave by taking her with her mother and her sister Makbule, also reserved the middle floor. Aide allocated the lower floor. Mustafa Kemal, who continued to live in this house until the day he moved to Samsun, has held meetings with his friends many times in this house. Among his colleagues were important names such as İsmet (İnönü) Pasha, Ali Fuat (Cebesoy) Pasha, Kazım (Karabekir) Pasha and Rauf Orbay.
This house was purchased by the former governor of Erzurum in 1924, Tahsin Uzer, and a sign indicating that Mustafa Kemal is sitting is placed at the entrance of the house. This house, which is filled with the memories of Ataturk, is bought by the Municipality in 1928. It is then transformed into a structure which contains many important materials as well as the documents bearing the signature of the goods used by Mustafa Kemal. When the calendars were displayed on June 15, 1942, this building was opened to visitors by the name of Ataturk Revolution Museum in the period when Lütfi Kırdar was the Governor and Mayor.
The museum had a fire hazard on January 9, 1962, and was restored and opened on March 4, 1962. The museum was restored in 1977 to the Turing Automobile Authority and İş Bank and then opened on May 19, 1981. Additional repairs were done in 1989 and in 1991 the museum was opened again.
