The statue of Atatürk in Bornova


in the Dean's Office of the Faculty of Economics at Ege University is the first statue of Atatürk in Türkiye. As Bornova Municipality, we have also included the statue of Atatürk in Türkiye in our Talking Walls project. The statue was placed in Ege University in 1926 by world-famous sculptor Henry Kripell. As you can see, it was made as a wall covering painting on the wall of the Public Education Center building in Bornova today.
