Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk's best known work, the Museum of Innocence, has been made into an exhibition of the same name: a set of glass-fronted cabinets filled with items like spoons, clocks, hair clips and toothbrushes which reflect the love story at the heart of the novel. The exhibition, which also includes a new film about Pamuk and his home city of Istanbul, opens at Somerset House in London this week. Orhan Pamuk spoke to James Naughtie about the themes of his work and the current political climate in Turkey.
