Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar Museum
Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar Museum (Turkish: Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar Müzesi) is a historic house museum dedicated to the writer Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar in Istanbul, Turkey.
The museum is situated on Heybeliada in the Princes' Islands in Istanbul.
Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar (1864–1944) was a writer specialized in daily life of Istanbul, mostly in a humorous way. During the 1912-1944 period, he lived on Heybeliada. His house is situated on top of a hill overlooking the Marmara Sea. After his death, the house was handed over to various museum authorities with the intention of establishing a historic house museum. For over half a century, it was neglected. Finally, the building was converted into a museum by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism with the support of Adalar Municipality. It was opened to visits in 2000.[1][2]
In 2013, Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality tried to convert the museum into a training center.[3] Upon public protests, its status remained unchanged. Currently, the museum is under restoration.[4]
