The museum house showcases personal items of Mehmet Âkif Ersoy, providing a glimpse into his life. Visitors can see his pocket watch, glasses, rosary, and rifle. Additionally, a mold of the poet's face is also on display, offering a unique perspective on the man behind the words.

Creation of the National Anthem

The house is also the place where Mehmet Âkif Ersoy wrote the National Anthem. According to popular accounts, in order not to lose the inspiration that came at night, he would carve some verses into the walls of the dervish lodge by candlelight. This anecdote adds a layer of intrigue and historical depth to the museum house.
