The Museum of Innocence, Istanbul, Turkey - متحف البراءة في اسطنبول

This museum is based on the novel “The Museum of Innocence.” The novel was written by Turkish novelist and Nobel-laureate Orhan Pamuk. It was published in 2008. It is about events in Istanbul between 1975 and 1984. A love story between a wealthy businessman Kemal and a poor distant relative of his, Füsun. The novel is about Istanbul’s upper class in the European side of the city. It explores the “pretensions” of upper-class Turks.
Pamuk developed the idea for the museum and novel in parallel. Pamuk won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2006. The museum was set up in a 19th-century house in Cukurcuma (the antique district). Pamuk himself collected and set up these displays. They are 'real' objects of a fictional story. His Nobel prize money went towards building this museum.

A voyage into the Subconsciousness and unconsciousness of Mr Orhan Pamuk.
Sometimes language fails us hence a Museum.
What a Fabulous Idea!!!!
One day on a trip to Istanbul I shall visit the museum,with the novel in my hand held tight so that access to the museum may be easier and with some pride,true or false but certainly with an eagerness to witness a man, among many,who in all his geniality came up with this extraordinary idea and concept,money facilitating,into a dual execution.A Beast of Art!!No wonder he crowned the 2006 Nobel literature glory

As off-putting as is this museum. I am eager to read the works of Orhan Pamuk, who I've just discovered, and am most attracted to because of personal memories of Istanbul in the 1960s. Do you wonder why I'm not in love with the images here? (no slur on the video maker, not at all). Because I feel no warmth from the set-up of museums, things laid out in squares with orderly words that I assume describe the displays.
Give me a real house with the true objects that still hold and radiate their human, intimate stories. I now realize that the great love of my life is not the man, as I'd believed. The great love of my life is my life! My home's objects now have a more conscious reason for existing and being displayed. Thank you Droobi Wanders for wandering into Istanbul and into my beautiful great life.

I visited the museum in January, and just finished the novel today. The displays are more impressive when seen in person. The novel/museum is a true work of art.
