ArtLiteratureOpens 10amFrom ₺800

Opened in 2012 in a 19th-century house in Çukurcuma, the museum was conceived by Orhan Pamuk together with his 2008 novel of the same name. It shows the objects the novel's characters used, wore, collected and dreamed of, arranged in boxes and display cabinets that cover Istanbul life from 1950 to 2000. Reading the book helps but is not required.
