Zeki Müren Arts Museum
The Bodrum home of Zeki Müren, Turkey's beloved 'Pasha of Art', preserved as a museum of his costumes and personal world.
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.”
It is a short walk from the castle along the seafront; combine the two on a single afternoon.
Single-storey house with mostly level access; a few thresholds between rooms.
