Turkish… Following the occupation of İstanbul, Mehmed Akif Ersoy went to Ankara to join the National Struggle, stayed at Taceddin Dergâhı and wrote our national anthem, İstiklal Marşı, there. As Bağcılar Municipality (Bağcılar Belediyesi), we built an exact, full-scale replica of Taceddin Dergâhı in Bağcılar to keep this historically significant building alive in İstanbul, foster awareness of the national spirit and shed light on our cultural heritage. The museum features the music of İstiklal Marşı on a shellac record, a total of 685 written works including a notebook certificate containing handwritten poems by Mehmed Akif Ersoy, and 127 items… Our library at Mehmed Akif Ersoy Kültür Merkezi ve Bilgi Evi has a total of 1809 printed works, seating for 24 and a simple, accessible layout. It operates 6 days a week (except Sundays), from 08.30 to 17.30. Contact details: Email: m.akif.ksm@bagcilar.bel.tr. Address: Kazım Karabekir…
