CHRONICLE OF OLD HARBİYE
The old Harbiye building, used as Military Museum and Cultural Center today, was first built as a War Collage in 1841. The building was completely burned after a fire in 1853. The building, reconstructed in 1853, was used as a War College until 1936 in which many commanders and officers including Atatürk ( during the 1899-1905 period ) were educated.
After the transfer of the War College to Ankara in 1936, the building was assigned to different army forces between 1936 and 1966 such as the headquarters of 1st Army, 3rd Army Corps. And Central Commandership.
In 1966, it was planned to restore the historical War College building, from which, Atatürk, the founder of Turkish Republic was graduated, and to change the building into a modern Military Museum without giving harm to the historical and architectural character. In 1985, the restoration was completed and 10th February 1993 the military museum and Cultural Center has taken its final situation.
The Cultural Center, continuing its activities within the museum,has a complete is ready equipment for the needs of cultural, scientific, and art events. All sorts of activities such as conferences, seminars, symposia, congresses etc. can be held within the cultural center’s meeting rooms and its temporary exhibition halls for art activities.
