Kongre Museum

Sivas Congress and Ethnography Museum is a museum in Sivas, Turkey
The building was originally a high school. It was built in 1892 by Mehmet Mazlum Bey, the governor of Sivas.[1] Between 4–12 September 1919, the building was used by Turkish nationalists as a center for preparation of the Turkish War of Independence (see Sivas Congress). After the congress, Mustafa Kemal Pasha (later Atatürk) and his friends stayed in this building until 18 December 1919, when they left for Ankara. Following their departure, the building returned to its former roll as a high school. In 1930, the building underwent a renovation. In 1984, upon the instruction of president Kenan Evren, the building was acquired by the Ministry of Culture. Following a restoration period, it was opened as the Museum of Congress in 1990.
