The Little Prince Museum Initiative (Turkey) has nearly 90 members of the Little Prince book collectors in Turkey. The Initiative was established in 2015, after a collective “The Little Prince Books of the World” Exhibition in Tayfa Kitapkafe, Ankara.
Since then, the members have been organizing book exhibitions, workshops; publish books about the Little Prince. They prepared two important digital publications for the Little Prince book collectors: “The Little Princes of the World” has information on 293 different languages/dialects and “The Little Princes of Turkey” has information on all Turkish versions of the book. These digital publications can be downloaded at the website of the Initiative.
Among these activities, the latest exhibition is an extraordinary one: The most comprehensive Little Prince book exhibition ever with 502 books.

Additionally, there is an interactive workshop for kids. They start by coloring the animal inside the boa constrictor and visit the asteroids. After learning each character on the asteroid, they go to the earth and meet with the fox. Once they repair the broken plane, they are ready to go the Little Prince’s asteroid. At the end they take a photo while flying with the migrating birds.
