I am not terribly into modern art but this Museum is still a must see. Most of the artists exhibited are Turkish and the exhibition space and contents are large. The exhibition is eclectic with paintings, photographs and installations together with sundry other "modern art"....More

While most of the visits include a trip down the Blue Mosque area, a visit to the Istanbul Modern Museum definitely worths your while. A collection of modern local art and a coffee shop that you can enjoy a Turkish coffee. Definitely a to-do!

across the water rival Karakoy’s own key attractions,
