Its story

The museum was founded to tell the story of the defense of Antep in the War of Independence. The exhibition, arranged in a historic Antep house, includes weapons from the war period, items used by the people, clothing, and books and magazines of the time. Part of the museum is in a rock-cut cave that was an important shelter during the years of occupation. It can be visited together with the Panorama 25 December Museum to understand how the city earned its title 'Gazi' (Veteran).
