Burhaniye National Forces Culture Museum, archäologisches Museum in der Türkei
Burhaniye National Forces Culture Museum is a museum in the town and presents collections from multiple time periods. The ground floor holds archaeological objects such as coins, pottery, and relics from the ancient city of Adramyttion, while the upper floor displays household items, traditional clothing, photographs, Ottoman-era documents, and personal possessions from local families.
The building itself dates to the 18th century and originally functioned as a hotel, store, and coffee house. During the Turkish War of Independence, it served as a headquarters for the local Kuva-yi Milliye militia, before later becoming a cultural center and eventually a museum.
The museum displays how people in Burhaniye lived across centuries, from ancient times through the early 20th century. The objects on view show everyday habits, clothing, and the crafts that shaped life in this region.
The museum is open Monday to Friday during morning and afternoon hours, and Saturday mornings, while remaining closed on Sundays. Entry is free, so visitors can explore the area's history without cost.
A rare first edition of Mustafa Kemal's work Nutuk from 1927 in Ottoman Turkish is one of the museum's most valuable holdings. This book stands as an important historical document from the founding period of modern Turkey and reflects the intellectual foundations of that era.
