A museum set up in the house where the folk minstrel Âşık Veysel was born in the village of Sivrialan, known for its 'Dark Room' section.
Its story
Âşık Veysel Şatıroğlu's house in the village of Sivrialan, attached to Şarkışla, was expropriated by the Ministry of Culture in 1979 and opened as a museum in 1982. The house and an annex built in 2012 display the minstrel's photographs, personal belongings, poems, works published about him and a wax statue. The 'Dark Room' between the two buildings is designed for visitors to experience the world of the blind minstrel; the museum also has explanations in raised (embossed) writing. Veysel was discovered by Ahmet Kutsi Tecer at the Minstrels' Festival in Sivas in 1931 and died in his village in 1973. His grave is also in the village.
