Avrasya Anı Evi
Avrasya Anı Evi ("Eurasian Memorial House") is a small museum in İzmir, Turkey.
Geography
The museum is in the Karataş neighborhood of İzmir. At 38°24′33″N 27°07′03″E / 38.40917°N 27.11750°E / 38.40917; 27.11750 it is on the Darío Moreno street no 11 next to the big asansör (elevator) which connects the lower quarters of the city to the high quarters.[1]
The museum
Darío Moreno (1921–1968) was a well known Turkish musician of Jewish descent. The memorial house was actually his stepfather's house. Although Darío Moreno lived only a short period in this house during the 1940s, the popular name of the house is Darío Moreno's house.[2]
İzmir metropolitan Municipality decided to name the former 302 street which runs from the boulevard to asansör as Darío Moreno Street and a NGO named İzmir Kalkınma Platformu ("İzmir Development Agency" İZKA for short) established the museum. In 2009 two busts were erected; one of Darío Moreno and the other of Enrico Macias, an Algerian born French singer who visited the museum.[3]
