modernist concerns, a modernist novelist in his own peculiar terms. Though
he tries hard to avoid the grasp of the modern age by sticking to the
Victorian ideals and value systems, he still cannot help giving voice to
the malaises of the modern age thematically and in one case technically as
well.

Süleyman Demirel Democracy And Development Museum” Displays Traces Of An Era
In Turkish Politics
Muharrem Zafer Çağlar,
Nedret Çağlar
Introduction
Having passed away on June 17, 2015, Süleyman Demirel, the 9th President of Turkish
Republic is one of the most notable statesmen of Turkish political life and had served more
than 50 years. Democracy and Development Museum, having been established in Isparta,
İslamköy on October 26, 2014 where Süleyman Demirel was born, is the first far-reaching
museum that was opened up in a village in Turkey.
Having been named after Süleyman Demirel, who had had a career as a Prime Minister and
President, the museum sheds light on the half-century political history of Republic era. The
museum which was established by Demirel Foundation in İslamköy, 20 kilometers far from
Isparta, is the product of 25 years of work. The museum and the surrounding complex has
become a significant destination center in İslamköy / Isparta after Demirel's death. The
museum has also allowed İslamköy to stand out as a brand name. For these reasons;
Democracy and Development Museum, which has an important place among the private
museums
in Turkey, has been the subject of our study.

The Concept of Museum
Throughout history, people have had the concerns to hide and bring their valuables to the
future. Therefore, the interest of individuals towards the art works and their desire to hide and
exhibit them, have laid the foundations of museums (Birsin, 2015:4). Vardar defined the
museum as, "the scientific
and cultural permanent establishments that give pleasure to
people, raise information and awareness, educate, examine in order to instill awareness and
enthusiasm; describe the contents, researches, transfer them to the future generation and
have them showcasing, promoting, being non-profit and motivating the historical richness"
(Vardar, 2003: 1). Mardan defined the museums as non-profit institutions which have
continuity (Mardan, 1999).
The museum, which contains concise sense of the past, is located on any type of
political and relative information with the content that they offer to the society (Inel, 2005).
Museums are the archive centers where researches are done and which preserve compiled
local, regional or national culture for future generations and educate society in this regard
(Nalçakan, 2005). Another role of the museum is to help the formation of the community's
cultural consciousness (Sezgin, 2009). Museum is important in the protection of the collective
memory, identity, formation and development of values that make people a "society" rather
than a "community". The museums, which focus on communication and education, serve as a
cultural center (Silier, 2006).
The first museum idea was put forward by the French writer La Fonda Saint Yenne.
The museums and galleries established to ensure the exhibition of the works are taken under
the auspices of the state (Birsin, 2015). The first Turkish museum was established by Fethi
Ahmet Pasha in Abdulmecit time. He was influenced by the art and culture of Vienna and
Paris and created a space where people could see and learn from the important works that he
collected in Turkey (Öz, 1948). The private museums were opened in Turkey in 1980s and
there came a European approach to the museums. The perception of museum changed and it
