Museum of Innocence

The Museum of Innocence is both a novel written by Orhan Pamuk and a museum he made. Pamuk has thought of the novel and the museum together since the 1990s. The romance novel between the years of 1974 and 2000 tells about the life of Istanbul between the years 1950-2000, together with the memories and memories of two families, one rich and one middle-aged. In the museum, the things used by the heroes described in the novel are displayed in carefully arranged boxes and showcases. No need to read the novel to enjoy the museum. Just like there is no need to visit the museum to enjoy the novel. But those who read the novel will better understand the diverse meaning of the museum, and those who visit the museum will see many things that they did not notice when reading the novel. The novel was published in 2008, and the museum was opened in spring 2012.
