The Atatürk Museum in Mersin (Turkish: Mersin Atatürk Evi Müzesi) is a two-storey house in Mersin, which hosted the founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his wife in 1925.

History

The house was originally built in 1897 by H. Christman, the German consul to Mersin when he married a Mersin citizen (of the Mavromati family). It was named Krizman house (Krizman konağı). In 1925, the house was assigned for Atatürk, when he visited Mersin on 20 January with his wife, Latife. They stayed eleven days.

In later years, the building was used by the Fedon Tahinci family and was called Tahinci house. In 1980, it was bought by the government. After restoration, it was transformed to a museum specialized on Atatürk and the Turkish War of Independence. The museum was opened on 12 October 1992.
