Nonostante non sia molto amato dai locali, questo museo a me è piaciuto molto. Le opere sono di buon livello e rappresentano tutto il disagio degli anni della guerra. L' ingresso è gratuito e merita sicuramente una visita.

Maalesef çok atıl durumda, şaşırdım ve yakıştıramadım, körfez ülkelerinde çok müze gezdim sanata verdikleri önemi biliyorum ama burası nedense kaderine terkedilmiş, yinede içeride bir resim sergisi vardı, ayrıca alelade sergilenmiş de olsa bir takım eserleri gördük
