What to see
Visitors move through a series of halls where sound, film and moving images take them through the land and sea battles of 1915; a separate exhibition museum has its own ticket. It is a good introduction before visiting the battlefields, memorials and cemeteries of the peninsula.
One and a half to two hours with the simulation halls and the exhibition.
Closed on Tuesdays. The Ministry page prints prices for Turkish citizens only; groups of school pupils are common, so come early or late.
