Several old family photos, famous speeches and other personal mementos such as handwritten notes can be seen inside the museum.

For many years, the museum was opened only for the Martyrs’ Day of 19 July. But the museum formally reopened on 24 March 2012. It is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm, except on public holidays.
