ATATÜRK
MUSEUM
It is supposed that the building located
in Çekirge Street was built at the end of
19th century. The pavilion is duplex, except
the basement and the attic. At Atatürk's
second visit to Bursa (20-24 January 1923),
the Municipality of Bursa bought this building
from the Colonel Mehmet and gave it to Atatürk
as a gift. Then, at each his visit to Bursa,
Atatürk stayed in this house.
