Zeki Müren, the flamboyant singer and actor who defined a golden era of Turkish music, spent his final years in this house near Bodrum's marina. Opened as a museum after his death in 1996, it keeps his sequined stage costumes, jewellery, letters, and everyday objects arranged much as he left them. It is a small, personal museum that doubles as a snapshot of 20th-century Turkish pop culture.

To step inside the private world of the singer who shaped modern Turkish stage culture.
