Asik Veysel Museum

The house of People's Poet Âşık Veysel Şatıroğlu in Sivrialan Village was expropriated by the Ministry of Culture in 1979 and opened to visitors as a museum in 1982. In the museum, Âşık Veysel's personal belongings, photographs, poems and published works about him are exhibited. In order to keep the memory of şık Veysel alive, every year, between 9-11 July, a festival is organized in Sivas and Şarkışla-Sivrialan Village under the name of “Âşık Veysel Âşıklar Feast”.
