İstanbul Modern

Art in İstanbul Is The New Cool 

İstanbul Modern is one of the first museums of modern and contemporary art in İstanbul, attracting art lovers and tourists from near and far. The İstanbul Modern has been temporarily relocated to the Union Française, a historic building in Beyoğlu on the Asmalımescit Mahallesi. But will soon be moving as part of the next phase of the new waterfront Galataport. In early 2022, art lovers eagerly await the unveiling of the new Renzo Piano-designed İstanbul Modern. In the meantime, on display are abstract paintings, portraits, sculptures, and photographs by local artists as well as public and private collections. In addition, İstanbul Modern’s temporary location also houses a library and café.
