Bursa Atatürk House Museum
A late-19th-century villa on Çekirge Street where Atatürk stayed on his visits to Bursa, kept with almost all of his original furniture.
On September 30, 2026 the Ministry’s listing showed this museum as closed to visitors. Check the official page before planning a visit.
About the museum
The villa on Çekirge Street is thought to date from the late 19th century. On Atatürk's second visit to Bursa, from 20 to 24 January 1923, the municipality bought it from Colonel Mehmet Bey and presented it to him as a gift. After that he stayed here on every visit to the city.
After 1938 Bursa Municipality sold the house to the Retirement Fund, which handed it to the General Directorate of Museums in 1968. It was converted into a museum and opened to visitors on 29 October 1973, the 50th anniversary of the Republic.
The villa has two floors plus a basement and attic. The ground floor holds a reception salon on the right, a dining room on the left and a rest room for tea and coffee. Upstairs are a bedroom on the right and a study on the left, from which you reach the conservatory. The basement served as kitchen and service area. Almost all the furnishings are the originals Atatürk used.
Tips
- Look closely at the everyday objects in the study and bedroom; almost all of them are originals.
- Opening days can vary; check the official page before you visit.
