Nezih Uzel, so prominent Mevlevi, Kuburzen and active journalist and author has given his approval to me for snapshooting his Museum-Like House. I was puzzled so in deep to observe a long and large history was embedded and hidden behind all those ancient, oldtimer pictures, books, household articles, kitchen utensils. Nezih Uzel was giving longer or sort information and descriptions on every matter, picture and material he showed me.
