I've always been intrigued by this buiklding that I may pass several times a day when in Istanbul, but never expected to enter. Only in 2017, walking in the Gülhaner Park, did I notice people leaving it, so I gave it a try to enter. To my delight there was no objection, and I found myself in the Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar Literature Museum Library, for that is what is now. Fropm the Wikipedia I quote: "The Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar Literature Museum Library (Turkish: Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar Edebiyat Müze Kütüphanesi) is a literary museum and archive dedicated to Turkish literature and named after the Turkish novelist and essayist Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar (1901–1962). [...] Special corners on the upper floor are dedicated to the life and works of around 50 renowned authors native to Istanbul, with busts of some,[2] including Nedîm (1681–1730), Yahya Kemal Beyatlı (1884–1958), Nâzım Hikmet Ran (1902–1963), Necip Fazıl Kısakürek (1904–1983), Aziz Nesin (1915–1995), Orhan Pamuk (born 1952), Ayşe Kulin (born 1941), Zülfü Livaneli (born 1946) and Doğan Hızlan (born 1937) in addition to Tanpınar." On some of the pictures I present here you see Nedir and Pamuk and their busts. The rest are shots of the interior or of the outside looked at from the flank of the building.
