And lest anyone forget, the exhibition concerns Turkish victory.

"Without a doubt, if the Republic of Turkey exists today, it is thanks to the victory of Gallipoli," the official document handed to visitors declares.

"The resistance that lasted for 8.5 months made the country, having lost nearly every single battle for the past two hundred years, regain the feeling of victory and refresh self-confidence."
