The museum was renamed Aşiyan in 1961 after the remains of Tevfik Fikret, which initially were buried at the Eyüp Cemetery, were taken to his home's yard he liked very much due to its panoramic view of Bosporus.

In two separate rooms, paintings, photographs, books and personal belongings of both poets are on display.

A painting of then Ottoman Shahzada Abdülmecid (1868-1944), which he created in inspiration of Tevfik Fikret's poem "Sis" (English: fog), hangs on the wall at this floor.

[1] Aşiyan museum was restored completely, and reopened by Mayor Kadir Topbaş in December 2012 after one-and-half-year works costing ₺1.128 million (around US$640,000).

[3][4] By the restoration, furniture remade after original photos and a wax sculpture of Tevfik Fikret were added to the museum.
