Adam Mickiewicz Museum, Literary museum in Beyoğlu, Turkey
The Adam Mickiewicz Museum is a literary museum in Beyoğlu that houses manuscripts, historical documents, and paintings from the Polish poet's time in Istanbul. The collection focuses on his stay in the city and his activities during those years.
The poet arrived in Istanbul in the 1850s and died there in 1855, marking the end of an important life chapter. The museum building was reconstructed after a fire in 1870, preserving the memory of the site where he lived.
The museum marks Mickiewicz's presence in Istanbul during his final years, when he engaged with the local Polish community living in the city. It shows how this writer became a connecting point between Eastern European culture and the Ottoman world.
The museum is located at the corner of Tatlı Badem Street and Serdar Ömerpaşa Street in a quiet residential area. Plan your visit to allow time for exploring the collections, and check opening hours before you go.
The basement contains a crypt where the poet's remains rested for one month before being transferred to Poland. This makes the space a quiet memorial to a journey that crossed borders and nations.
