Tiny but a wonderful slice of history. Could have more things in English. A good way to understand the heart of the city through its artists.

This is a private museum dedicated to the writer. The furniture inside belonged to Kemal, who lived in Bakirköy. I like it very much when someone has a passion and makes it accessible to the public. Nevertheless, not much information is provided in English and it is small.
