The Fatma Suat Orhon Museum and Art House is a mansion, and the building is the first thing it shows you: a konak of 1910 in the centre of Söke, restored in 2013 and given over to display.

The subject inside is the history of this part of Aydın, and it is presented in three ways rather than as a single collection — documents, sculpture, and scenes reconstructed for the visitor.
