Mudanya Armistice House, History museum in Mudanya, Turkey
The Mudanya Armistice House is a two-story wooden building with a basement and attic located in Mudanya, Turkey, now serving as a museum. It contains thirteen rooms arranged to show the spaces where important negotiations took place.
The building became significant on 11 October 1922, when Turkish and Allied representatives signed the Mudanya Armistice agreement. This event ended the Turkish War of Independence and marked a turning point for the region.
The museum displays original furniture, documents, and photographs from the armistice period, allowing visitors to see the rooms where delegates conducted their negotiations. One can sense the weight of the decisions made within these walls during that critical time.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, with guided tours offered in multiple languages. It is best to allow enough time to explore all the rooms and examine the displayed objects carefully.
The museum preserves the marble table that İsmet İnönü, who later became Turkey's president, broke during intense negotiations with Allied representatives. Seeing this table reminds visitors of the intensity and tension that filled the room during these historic discussions.
