Book signing for adults

The museum will also host a special book signing for 23 April. Mustafa Kemal Ulusu, son of Nuri Ulusu, Atatürk's librarian, will sign his book titled "By Atatürk's Side". Ulusu's book, which compiles all the memories his father Nuri Ulusu gathered over 12 years, offers an opportunity to witness not only Atatürk's world filled with books, but also his travels, friendships, dreams and ideals.
