Very nice museum with a rich collection of arms, uniforms and artillery, with details from various Greek wars. My 8 yo enjoyed it. For younger kids not amusing enough.
A good range of exhibitions, covering a wide range of history. The basement exhibitions only have Greek descriptions, the other floors have English and Cyrillic. At only €4 for entry, it's good value for money.
An excellent and rather large collection of weapons, military equipment and documents. The only problem is that the civil war in Greece in 1941-1944 and 1946-1949 was skipped, while the space is devoted to irrelevant topics.
A war museum shows weapons, historical documents, and war-time pictures. I feel so fortunate that I am living in the peaceful era. Hopefully we don’t have war anywhere.
That’s the symbol of our feelings and Turkish history, that’s the house we feel at home. I don’t know how it was before but still walking in the house makes me feel so happy and proud.
If you have the chance to visit only one museum in Thessaloniki, this should be it. The place is now museum, but it was where Atatürk was born. It takes you through the genius of 20th century was educated and what influenced his thoughts. Anyone interested in world history should visit here. There are Greek, Turkish and English explanations to everything. You can cover the entire museum in 45 mins. And it is free.
Standing in the room where he was born.. No need to words. Feelings topped! We are so lucky that we live under the shadow of his imaginary revolutions; even they were realized just after the WW II in the middle of Salvation War of Turkey.
An emotional place where you can touch the story of one of the most interesting and important leaders in worldwide history.
Free entry, for which I congratulate the authorities.
Stories like this should reach as many people as possible.

I’m sure this museum is very important to Turkish people. However, it might not be interesting to an American tourist. However, despite that, it is small so it won’t take too much time to look through- so it won’t eat up your vacation time too much.
A diverse and rich museum of Greek military history. It is being delightfully renovated. Would have liked to see a selection of books in English about the subject that I could buy. Otherwise this was the perfect gateto another viewpoint of history. Love it
1. Great collection of weapons and historical items.
2. Students can get in with a reduced ticket of 2€.
3. All the information cards in the basement display items are in Greek. If they were in English as well, non Greek people could also enjoy them.
4. Nevertheless, enjoyed it thoroughly. Any gun nut or history nerd can spend hours in here.

Wonderfully. It was unbelievable, with its attractive magic, it takes you to that date as if it takes you to that date. It was a very beautiful place and I like it very much. I recommend you to go and visit...
A very emotional visit for Turks. This is the house the founder of Turkey was born in. His genius helped create a new and stable republic from the collapsed Ottaman. He is one of the biggest leaders and geniuses of the 20th century. I highly recommend visiting his house.
Very big museum with great exhibits. A very helpful person sold us tickets and explained what the museum had to offer. Downstairs has not English translations but those are the smallest exhibits. The rest have great pictures, life-like mannequins with army gear and helmets, and more! I feel like I have never seen so many types of guns in my life. Definitely a good option for people that want something outside as well. Cool jeeps and vehicles are displayed outside. Overall a great place to visit.
It is a precious,important and very impressive place for us as a Turk. We got so emotional. It was more meaningful for us because we knew our history, but better information can be provided for foreigners, for example, a brochure with short brief information can be given at the entrance. The library section at the bottom was a bit empty, Atatürk was a leader who read a lot. It would be better to organize the library part in a much better way.
