The Museum of Innocence

This guide to the Museum of Innocence in Istanbul follows Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk, who spent years collecting old matchbooks, watches and menus from Çukurcuma junk shops while writing the novel they would illustrate. It traces the fictional love between Kemal, a wealthy Istanbulite, and his distant cousin Füsun, set in 1970s Istanbul, and how Pamuk built a museum case for every chapter of the book. Bring a copy of the novel — the staff will stamp your ticket to match one particular chapter.
