The Independence War Museum is small; you will cover it in 15 minutes and there is no information in English. However, it has a special place in Turkish history. The long rectangular building has interesting architecture and consists of a long passageway separating galleries on left and right. In the centre is the larger room with a pulpit. Desks that would not look out of place in the classroom, face inwards towards the centre. Various paintings in the passageway include one showing a meeting of the National Council. This is clearly where Ataturk set up his first administration. Various exhibits are displayed in other rooms clearly contemporary with the 1920s. A few examples of vintage communication equipment are on display and there are a number of weapons including three world War I machine guns.
