The house in the Greek port city of Thessaloniki where modern Türkiye founder Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was born and lived until he was 7 was opened to the public as a museum in 1953 and continues to attract scores of visitors to this day.

The premiere of the movie "Atatürk 1881-1919," starring actor Aras Bulut İynemli as Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, was held at Atatürk Cultural Center (AKM) on Oct. 23.

On the other hand, the costumes used in the movie were exhibited in the building.
