Lonely Planet review for Atatürk Congress & Ethnography Museum

Opposite the Kale Camii is the imposing Ottoman school building that hosted the Sivas Congress in 1919. Today it's a museum (enter via the rear).

The extensive Ottoman ethnographical collection, displayed on the ground floor, features a fine selection of kilims and carpets, including some impressive examples showing local weaving style; a demonstration of pillowcase-making (another local craft); a 12th-century wooden mimber from Divriği's Ulu Cami; and dervish ceremonial beads, weapons and mystics' caps.
