Cumhuriyet Devri Müzesi

Story

Located in Ankara's Altindag district, the Museum of the Republican Era is the memory of a place that lived through some of the most exhilarating years of Turkey's modern period. From its founding to the present day, the museum welcomes visitors with valuable works and objects documenting the transformation of the early years of the Republic. Historical documents, photographs, cultural objects, and works of art come together to tell of Ankara's development and urbanization in this period. The exhibitions, which feature works by local artists in particular, reveal the cultural richness of the region. One of the museum's most interesting aspects is the realistic perspective offered by the everyday objects of the era; from dowries to household goods, from styles of clothing to the tools of tradesmen, everything tells the story of a bygone time. The museum also carries traces of the cultural and architectural change that followed Ankara becoming the capital. When you visit, do not forget to explore the museum's quiet courtyard and the surrounding Altindag neighborhoods; here you can find the architecture and fabric of old Ankara.
