Kossuth Müzesi

Lonely Planet may earn a commission from affiliate links on our site. All recommendations and reviews reflect our own independent opinions.

This stately whitewashed Ottoman building once housed dissident Hungarian parliamentarian Lajos Kossuth (1802–94), and exemplifies upper-class Kütahyan life in the mid-19th century. Along with period furnishings, costumes and weaponry, there are two floors of verandas overlooking a manicured garden and statue of Kossuth. From the Tile Museum, follow the road behind the Ulu Cami to find it.

After demanding independence from the Austrian-dominated Habsburg Empire, Kossuth and others were expelled; he spent a year here (1850–51) before continuing his exile in the UK, USA and Italy.
