Additionally, it is also obvious that we need more museums supporting Pamuk’s manifesto. Since we like both of them- stories and histories, we believe more on the diverse distribution of small and big museums.

Pamuk explained every single detail on this link, in conclusion, it can be said that we need smaller, cheaper, more individualistic museums having stories rather than the museums large, expensive museums having histories.

The Museum of Innocence has been constructed with this manifesto. However, he has many awards except the Nobel. In 2006, he was awarded Nobel on literature and this can be the biggest achievement of his entire life. Our personal opinion is that Pamuk is our favorite author when the topic is about Istanbul. He spent most of his life in Istanbul– Turkey. Moreover, he spent three years in the United States where he was a visiting researcher at Columbia University. He left studying architecture after three years and graduated from the Institute of Journalism in 1976 and in this period he started writing regularly. He grew up in an upper-class family while you can understand this in his books. Orhan Pamuk was born in Istanbul in 1952. Everybody likes the idea behind it and we are lucky to have such a fantastic museum located in Istanbul. For your information, this is a novel and also a museum. Orhan Pamuk- Nobel laureate novelist has written many great books up to today and the Museum of Innocence is one of them. Believe us there is no exaggeration, both of them are fantastic and the idea of combining novel and museum is great. We will be talking about generic things from the novel and the museum without spoilers. This post is intended to express how much we like the museum and recommend people both reading the novel and visiting the museum who are planning to visit Istanbul sooner or later. Museum of Innocence may not be such a secret place and can be classified a bit popular, however, this is different than the other museums in Istanbul.

As locals, we all like to explore secret places (you know, this is our motto!).
