Istanbul Modern, the city’s first museum of modern and contemporary art, showcases a diverse collection of Turkish and international artworks. Originally opened in 2004 in a warehouse along the Bosphorus, the museum recently moved to a new, state-of-the-art building designed by famous architect Renzo Piano in the Galataport. Its exhibitions include paintings, sculptures, photography, and digital media, highlighting the evolution of modern art in Turkey. In addition to its permanent collection, Istanbul Modern hosts temporary exhibitions, film screenings, and educational programs. With its striking architecture and waterfront location, the museum is a cultural landmark that connects Istanbul’s artistic heritage with global contemporary art.
