Sait Faik Abasıyanık Museum, Literary house museum in Burgazada, Turkey.
The Sait Faik Abasıyanık Museum is a literary house museum on Burgazada Island in the Princes' Islands. The three-story building preserves his personal items, handwritten manuscripts, and photographs that document his life and creative work.
The museum was established in 1959, five years after the writer's death, when his house became a gift to the Darüşşafaka Association for educational purposes. The conversion preserved his home as a memorial to his legacy.
The house shows how the writer lived daily on the island and drew inspiration from the surrounding community for his stories. Visitors can see the spaces where he worked and the views that shaped his literary imagination.
The museum spreads across multiple exhibition rooms on three floors, including a reading room, dining area, bedroom, and display spaces for letters and photographs. Walking through provides a sense of how the writer lived and worked daily.
The second floor displays a special section showing how Burgazada Island directly influenced the writer's stories through documents and connections. This area reveals the relationship between the place itself and the literary works created within it.
