Bodrum Zeki Muren Art Museum

One of the names associated with Bodrum is Zeki Muren, the unforgettable name of Turkish Classical Music. Zeki Muren, who frequently visited and stayed in Bodrum, retired from music after 1980 and lived in seclusion in his Bodrum home.

The house where the artist lived from 1980, when he moved to Bodrum, until his death on September 24, 1996, was converted into a museum under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in 2000. This museum displays the artist's own Buick Regal brand car, letters from his fans, awards he received, and much more information, documents, and photographs about his life and works, as well as his fabulous stage clothes and personal belongings. Prof. Dr. Tankut Oktem, the State Artist, sculpted a bronze statue of Zeki Muren in front of this museum. Bodrum Zeki Muren Art Museum is one of the most popular places to visit in Bodrum.
