🇹🇷🕌Mevlana Museum: All About Rumi!

#2024wish In 2023, I got to visit the city of Konya in Türkiye!🇹🇷 Why is Konya famous? Because it is the place where the poet Rumi lived and concluded his life in! 👳🏽♂️🇹🇷 In Türkiye, Rumi is known under the name “Mevlana”. At first when we arrived, we weren’t sure who everyone was talking about. But soon we realized that this was the poet Rumi!📜 In the museum, you can see the resting place where Rumi’s body is laid, which is a large box surrounded by beautiful adornments. 🪦 Also, there are the graves of others close to Rumi, and many of Rumi’s personal artefacts and literature! 🧥 One of the COOLEST parts of this museum is a box which belonged to Rumi, which has little holes in the display case (see the photo). The reason for the little holes is because if you put your nose near them, you can still smell the oil that Rumi wore as perfume! 🤯🍶 This museum is such a gem, and was one of the highlights of our trip to Türkiye! Konya is a beautiful city, with lots of local culture and excitment. If you’re in Türkiye, definitely swing by Konya! ♥️♥️#localguides #historicallandmarks #turkey
