İstanbul Modern, Türkiye’s first museum of modern and contemporary art, is open to visitors in a new building designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop. The landmark building is situated at the museum’s original location on the Karaköy waterfront, one of İstanbul’s most historic districts where the Bosphorus and Golden Horn meet. Across 10,500 square meters, the new İstanbul Modern provides a purpose-built space for a dynamic range of temporary exhibitions, interdisciplinary educational programs, film screenings, and an extensive, publicly accessible art collection. Spanning the period from 1945 to the present, the collection features works by international artists who reflect Türkiye’s artistic creativity and have played an active role in the global transformation of art.
