(Open every day, except Monday. During the summer, the museum opens everyday).
The Ethnography Museum: Opposite the Opera House on Talat Pasa Boulevard is the Ethnography Museum. There is a fine collection of folkloric artifacts as well as fine items from Seljuk and Ottoman mosques. (Open every day, except Monday).
Ataturk's House: This museum is on the grounds of the Presidential Palace in Cankaya and was Ataturk's house after the founding of the Republic.
