A museum dedicated to the founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, located at his birthplace.
The Atatürk Museum in Thessaloniki is housed in the very building where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, was born in 1881. The museum showcases personal artifacts, photographs, and documents related to Atatürk’s life and the early history of Turkey. The building itself is a fine example of late 19th-century Greek architecture and has been carefully preserved to maintain its historical integrity. Visitors can explore the rooms and gain insight into the life and times of one of the most significant figures in Turkish history.
