Best Modern art museum of Istanbul... it will be in its temp building for three years. Always check the temp exhibitions.

Good collection of artwork. They also have a cafe/restaurant near the sea. Rest if you must, the breeze is fantastic. Customer service is a 2/5, not very friendly.

One of my favourite modern art museums in town. Recently moved to their temporary center, located in a mesmerising historical Beyoglu apartment in Pera area of Istanbul.

The Museum has become a multipurpose cultural center and during summer many events and concerts take place at the fabulous garden of Istanbul Modern & you’re stunned by the incredible Bosphorus view!

Daring and exciting exhibits all around. Incredible Turkish modern masters. Makes you think, unlike a very boring, large museum called Tate elsewhere.

The architectural layout of the museum is already stunning in itself. A must see in Istanbul and a great counterweight to the historical sights.
