Museum of Contemporary Art "Istanbul Modern"

Istanbul Museum of Modern Art, Istanbul Modern Museum, İstanbul Modern Sanat Müzesi
Turkey, Istanbul
The Istanbul Modern Museum of Contemporary Art was opened in 2004 and its main goal is to show the individuality of modern Turkish culture. The museum is located on the waterfront Bosphorus, right in the port of Karakoy in the restored former port warehouses.
Istanbul Modern has two main exhibition halls. On the ground floor, the permanent collection of the museum is displayed - there are exhibited in chronological order the works of various artists, demonstrating the development of Turkish art from its inception to the present day - from paintings and sculptures to installations of video materials. The first floor of the museum also hosts temporary exhibitions (concerning design, architecture, video and new media) and a photo gallery. It hosts retrospectives and concept shows on contemporary Turkish art, as well as a number of educational and social programs.
In addition to permanent and temporary exhibition galleries, the museum offers visitors to spend time in a cinema, shop, restaurant or find a book in an extensive library with an unusual design.

Ljubo museum, located in such a popular tourist city as Istanbul and named "Museum of Modern Art" - is destined to be popular. And regardless of what and who exhibited there. But, let's be honest, the Turks have little understanding of contemporary art, because they themselves are in the last century compared to developed countries. If you have a lot of time, and you generally accept modern art, then you can go. But in general, contemporary art should be seen in Europe or America, they know a lot about it.
