The Museum of Innocence, recently opened in Istanbul, became one of the most visited places in 2016. The museum was created, according to Reuters, on the initiative of Orhan Pamuk, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. The exposition of the museum presents things that Pamuk acquired over the decades from Istanbul antique shops.
The idea of creating a museum of antiques came from the writer more than 15 years ago. The next step was the creation of the novel "Museum of Innocence", which describes stories that were inspired by things acquired at flea markets and flea markets.
Pamuk says that his museum is not pretentious. This is an exhibition dedicated to the life of the most ordinary people from 1950 to 2000. The writer plans to exhibit his paintings in the museum: Pamuk in his youth wanted to become an artist.
The opening of the museum was supposed to take place in 2008, but was constantly postponed. In 2011, Orhan Pamuk was found guilty of insulting the Turkish people, as in one of his interviews he said that Turkey was guilty of the murder of a million Armenians and now lives in Goa.
Architects, designers and artists took part in the development of the project of the Museum of Innocence. Exactly how much money was spent on the creation of the museum Pamuk does not report, claiming that the Nobel Prize (about a million euros) is not enough for the creation of the museum.
In 2006, Pamuk became the first Turkish writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize. The novel Museum of Innocence was published in 2008, and in 2009 it was translated into Russian.
