Özet:

 During the beginning of preparations for the 10th anniversary of the Republic of Türkiye, political and intellectual circles proposed the idea of establishing a museum that would exhibit the 10-year course of the revolutions in Türkiye by taking advantage of the possibilities contemporary museology had brought to the agenda. Upon adopting this idea, attempts were initiated to establish a revolution museum, for which a Committee of Museums was formed. The committee was requested to have the Republics first 10 years of struggle depicted in the planned museum. The committee members were knowledgeable about history and museology but had different ways of viewing the idea of the revolution. The desire was to also have the Revolution Museum be created similar to the Ankara Peoples House. This study discusses the efforts at establishing the Revolution Museum that had been designed to be established in 1933 based on its counterparts in Russia, Germany, and Italy as well as the various arguments and opinions concerning the museum and the reasons for why it had failed. The subject and focus of this study are the Revolution Museum. The article mainly used the archival documents of the period, newspaper and journal news, and the minutes from Parliament in its writing, while also examining other sources.

 Cumhuriyetin onuncu yıldönümü hazırlıklarının başladığı günlerde politik ve aydın çevreler tarafından ortaya bir fikir atılmıştı. Çağdaş müzeciliğin imkânlarından yararlanılarak, Türkiyede gerçekleşen inkılâpların on yıllık seyrini gösteren bir müze kurulması fikri gündeme gelmişti. Bu fikir benimsenerek bir İnkılâp Müzesi kurulması için girişimlere başlanmış ve bir Müzeler Komitesi oluşturulmuştu. Komiteden istenen, kurulması planlanan müzede cumhuriyetin ilk on yıllık mücadelesinin tasvir edilmesiydi. Ancak tarih ve müzecilik konularında bilgi sahibi olan komite üyelerinin inkılâp düşüncesine bakışlarında farklılıklar vardı. Komite üyelerinin fikir ayrılıkları müzenin kurulmasını engelledi. İnkılâp Müzesi buna benzer şekliyle Ankara Halkevi tarafından da oluşturulmak istendi. Bu çalışmada 1933te oluşturulması tasarlanan İnkılâp Müzesinin Rusya, Almanya ve İtalyadaki benzerleri örnek alınarak kurulma çabaları, çeşitli tartışmalar ve görüş farklılıkları ile müzenin kurulamamasının nedenleri ele alınmıştır. Çalışmanın konusu ve odak noktası İnkılâp Müzesi olup, müzelerin genel tarihine değinilmemiştir. Makalenin yazımında ağırlıklı olarak dönemin arşiv belgeleri, gazete-dergi haberleri ve meclis tutanakları kullanılmış ve ayrıca diğer kaynaklardan da yararlanılmıştır.
