Hear how Adam Mickiewicz came to Istanbul during the Crimean War, read letters to fellow patriots, and learn why his death here still shapes Polish history.
Housed in a simple Beyoglu townhouse, the museum preserves the furniture, manuscripts, and personal items of Poland’s national poet, just a short walk from Taksim Square.
See the study where Mickiewicz worked, view early editions of his poems, and visit the small crypt that once guarded his remains before they were returned to Krakow.
