Museum of the War of Independence - Ulus No:14

It is an important place for turkish history. The Museum itself was small and sadly no English, so we could only guess the meanings.

Very nice i have visited this museum over 10 times now.

Yet another place to visit so as to comprehend the history of the modern-day Republic.

Loved all the detailed painting, sets, model ships and planes. It was awesome :)

Its okay to visit. Small musium nothing much to see but the atmosphere is good when you walk around and imagine people many years ago working there and now they are not between us. The rooms are nice and old with beautuful decoration of those times. The photo of presidents and etc ? takes maybe 20 to 30 minuests to visit all place carefully ?
