Turkey’s First Museum of Modern Art

 

İstanbul Modern

İstanbul Modern has a special place in our list because of its important role in not only İstanbul’s but also Turkey’s art environment. Founded in 2004, İstanbul Modern is Turkey’s first museum of modern and contemporary art

By 2022, the museum has a new building situated in Galataport Karaköy. This building is also art itself! It is designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano, the mastermind of buildings for numerous international museums and art institutions, among them Centre Pompidou, Whitney Museum, Centro Botín, and Beyeler Foundation Museum. So if you are an architecture nerd, you will love the building also. 

İstanbul Modern offers visitors a great museum experience in its various exhibition halls. They also offer educational workshops, film screenings, an abundant library, a design shop with great souvenirs, and a restaurant with a great view of the Bosphorus. It is also a great place to go with the kids! They offer numerous activities to kids including movie screenings, workshops and special guided tours.
