SIVAS ATATÜRK CONGRESS AND ETHNOGRAPHY MUSEUM
The high school building in which Mustafa Kemal Atatürk held the House of Representatives meetings between the dates of 2 September 1919 and 18 December 1919 today stands as Sivas Museum. During Sivas Congress, the principal’s room was used by Mustafa Kemal and sessions were held in the hall where students exhibited their acting skills.

The building was constructed in October 1892, under the supervision of Sivas Mayor Mazlumpaşazade Mehmet Memduh Bey. The four-line inscription on marble, giving details about the construction of the building, was inscribed in Arabic letters by Mahmut Edip the Calligrapher from Sivas; the inscription is on display in the Congress building.

The building was used as a school until 1981, when it was converted into a museum. The Hall was refurnished as the Congress Room, with relevant desks, chairs, pulpit and other furniture of the time, to commemorate the founding of the Republic. Each room upstairs, except for administrative circles, have been designed and refurnished with such items as the printing press and telegraph machine, as well as tools and documents of the time. Rooms on the ground floor of the Museum house ethnographical items.
