Cin Ali
About This Museum
Would you believe a museum exists for a character from a beloved Turkish primer? That's the delightful surprise of the Cin Ali Museum. It’s a tiny, magical place tucked away on a quiet street in Ankara, entirely dedicated to the simple stick-figure boy who taught generations of Turks how to read. Stepping inside feels like opening a childhood storybook, where every drawing and artifact tells a story of national memory. It’s less a formal museum and more a warm, nostalgic hug from the past.
Collection Highlights
You'll find the original drawings by creator Rasim Kaygusuz, along with first editions of all ten little books. The real charm is in the personal letters and artwork sent by adoring fans over the decades, showing just how deeply Cin Ali was woven into the fabric of their lives.
Visitor Information
It's cozy and won't take long to see everything, making it a perfect stop to break up a day of sightseeing. Just double-check their opening hours online before you go, as it's a small operation.
Architecture & Building
Housed in an unassuming, almost residential-looking building with a charmingly simple facade; its modesty perfectly matches the humble little character it celebrates.
