Atatürk's House

Atatürk's House in Şuhut is a three-story building with multiple rooms displaying personal belongings, photographs, and documents from Turkey's founding leader. The rooms are arranged to show different aspects of his life and work.

The building served as a military headquarters before the Great Offensive of August 1922 during the Turkish War of Independence. After the war ended, it was purchased and eventually converted into a museum to preserve its historical importance.

The house displays personal items and memorabilia that reveal how Turkish society transformed during the early 20th century through the eyes of its first leader. The exhibited objects show his daily life and the changes he championed.

The museum is relatively easy to access and offers guided tours explaining the significance of each room and display. It is best to check opening hours before visiting and allow enough time to see the exhibits comfortably.

The building was purchased by Istanbul Municipality in 1928 and opened to visitors in 1942 as a revolution museum. This gap between purchase and opening allowed for significant restoration work that shaped the space you see today.
