The Atatürk Museum is a three-story pink Ottoman-style timber house where Mustafa Kemal, later Atatürk, was born in 1881. It now belongs to the Turkish Consulate General. The furnishings of that era have been restored, and photographs and artifacts from his life are on display. Admission is free, but visitors must show a passport at security. Opening hours follow the consulate's announcements, usually Monday to Friday, from morning to afternoon. It is an important pilgrimage site for Turkish visitors.
