Riverside museum with Turkish & international modern & contemporary art collections. Amazing place, modern building and picturesque views. Breathtaking artworks won't leave anyone indifferent.
Istanbul Modern is TEMPORARILY CLOSED.
The museum website reported thar they are leaving for a while due to the construction of the new museum building which hosted the museum for 14 years and welcomed over 7 million visitors. Istanbul Modern will continue its current activities in the temporary space in Beyoğlu until the new museum building planned to be completed in the near future, with the same enthusiasm. *** Up-to-date information on the new opening date can be found on the museum's website or on its social media accounts.
Best modern art museum in the city. May renew the showcases more often though. Great location, however there is an ongoing construction that has been done for quite some time. Don't know what that is all about. There is an open car park too.
A great space, amazing views & beautiful collection All curated for an unforgettable experience I've had in Istanbul. Add to it as well the restaurant/bar to complement the day there. Easily could spend 3-4 hrs there
This is one of the best museums in Istanbul. It is located in a really nice spot with a view of the sea. It has two floors. One is filled mostly with the permanent collection which includes a good variety of local artists. The other floor holds temporary exhibitions which vary in type and content. It is big enough the spend a few hours on a visit but not too big that you get lost and can’t see all of the artwork. There is a nice restaurant inside the museum as well. Also the museum shop usually has really cool design items. Definitely recommend visiting this museum if you’ve never been.
Just ok museam card doesn't work over here it's a private museam
Perfect for a couple of hours, nice museum on the inside, the art featured was also enjoyable to look at and read about. There's also a nice restaurant with an outdoor terrace overlooking the water.
Excellent value for money. Great exhibitions. Round the day off with a snack and drink overlooking the Bosphorus
Wonderful exhibitions, wonderful environment. I feel like its odd location makes it even more charming. Unfortunately, it seems like not very popular among tourists. I believe all the people with interest in art should visit.
The museum is not famous among tourists, but this is worth visiting. In case you have free time and 20 TL(approx 3 EUR) go to this museum. Permanent exhibition is impressive!
On top, there is a restaurant on he 2nd floor with the perfect Bosporus view.
Well curated and interesting exhibit. Good gallery size ensures you don't get tired/bored before you reach the end
Very cool and hipster place to be. Lots of amazing arts displayed.Great cafe oversee the river. Must go for art fans
Lovely, small gallery. Good collection, predominantly Turkish and some foreign artist.. Lovely helpful staff. Magnificent view from the gallery and the restaurant.
Small but fantastic collection and great location by the water
I respect their support for art but Istanbul Modern should do a major change in their permanent collection. Their location is so beautiful, tho.
Wonderful modern paintings and sculptures. The view over the Marmaray see and Haya Sophia and Topkapı Palace is outstanding.
Worth visiting with cool collection of local artists work & temporary exhibition. Aside from that overlooking a breathtaking side of the Bosporus & short stroll from the vibrant Karaköy and its many cozy cafes & street art
Great place with moving art! Unfortunately it costs more for foreigners than for Turkish citizens, and they're not good at letting you know. We were halfway through the tour (on a free day) when we were escorted out, presumably because we were speaking English. Pretty disappointing.
Make sure you pay if you're from out of town.
