These pictures are the result of a stroll I made, strating at the Ulu Camii, than along the main street onto the square where there is the city museum and the usual Atatürk on horseback (I think this square, like the one in Ankara, is called heykel, for "statue"), then uphill through some very ordinary neighbourhoods, crossing a rivelet, descending again.

This is inside the city museum. It is situated inside a fine building from the early days of the republic, I guess. It is not very large, but has some sensible displays of the older and younger history and room for variable exhibitions.

This must refer to the early days (mid twenties) when the old Ottoman alfabet and language were given up, and the new Turkish was introduced and taught.
