Hello, I visited Anıtkabir Museum today and I want to tell you some things as best as I can.

Anıtkabir (literally, "memorial tomb") is the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the leader of the Turkish War of Independence and the founder and first President of the Republic of Turkey. It is located in Ankara and+

was designed by architects Professor Emin Onat and Assistant Professor Ahmen Orhan Arda, whose proposal beat 48 other entries from several countries in a competition held by the Turkish Government in 1941 for a "monumental tomb" for Atatürk.

Atatürk came to prominence for his role in securing the Ottoman Turkish victory at the Battle of Gallipoli (1915) during World War I. Following the defeat and dissolution+

of the Ottoman Empire, he led the Turkish National Movement, which resisted mainland Turkey's partition among the victorious Allied powers.

you can check Ataturk's Reforms from here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atat%C3%BCrk%27s_Reforms

The museum consists of four main sections but some sections were closed because of pandemic so I'll show you the sections I visited.

This is "Lions Alley" which means peace. The 24 lions on the right and left which represent 24 Oghuz Tribes. 262-meter-long Lions Alley goes to Ataturk's tomb.
