Unique place on the sea side to be visited outside and of course especially inside. The master, Renzo Piano, made as usual a martian job, with a pure and naked architecture thought in all details. The central metallic stairs look like if the where bended from the architect's hand, with the central one going up and the side ones going down on the lobby. Glazing parapets and open metallic structure are giving to the visitor the sensation of a no boundaries space floating on a stair. Order and detail are visible as well in the ceiling, with mechanical and electrical guiding the eyes trough the interior lines. At the lobby you will find the reception desk, information desk, cafeteria, souvenir shop and a library. In the library there is an exposition about the RPWS. The table at the center is hanging from the ceiling, and I believe is a remarkable details that many don't get since it is hard to see arriving from the front door. On the first and second floor are located the exhibitions, remarkables of course. On the third floor there is an open terrace with a beautiful view on the Asian side and the Agya Santa Sophia. Beautiful sliding doors of the bathroom in the underground are opening with a sensor activated with the and, instead of a normal switcher. A good solution foreseen the COVID times. Cost of ticket was about 15 euro. We arrived in the morning and there was no quee almost, however when we went out there was a long one.

İstanbul Museum of Modern Art is currently at its temporary location Pera. It will move to its new building at Salıpazarı hopefully in 2020. The must exhibition to see right now is about the works of Turkish photographer Ara Güler. These are black and white film prints of old İstanbul around 1950's and 60's. Revision-May 2023 The museum moved to it's new building, designed by Renzo Piano, in May 2023, at the same location. It is much bigger, a proper museum building by design, because the old one was converted from a warehouse. How to plan for a visit? Allocate around 3 hours for your visit, possibly in the afternoon, as explained below. First the museum galleries spread over two floors; while there, take a picture of the restored clock tower, originally built during the reign of Sultan Abdülmecid, in the 1800's, the two facade clocks are Zenith made. Then the terrace on the third floor where an exceptional view of old Istanbul will be reflected over the aqua pond of thin water surrounding the terrace. Spend some time at the museum shop which, may be the best of it's kind in Turkey. Finally take your cappuccino at the ground floor coffee house. Regards

Istanbul Modern offers a truly unique and artistic experience, even though it’s a relatively small museum. The atmosphere is inviting, and it's an excellent destination for art lovers. A highlight for families is that children under 12 can enter for free, while those under 16 and students have discounted rates. Remember to bring a valid student ID for verification. Adult tickets are reasonably priced, though it's always best to check the latest prices on their official website. What sets Istanbul Modern apart is its architectural design by the renowned architect Renzo Piano. The museum showcases a contemporary architectural spirit, blending industrial and structural elements that create an inspiring space. If you're interested in the architectural philosophy behind the design, you can find detailed information in the museum’s library, which adds another layer to the visit. The visual arts on display are remarkable, offering a diverse and captivating collection that makes the visit well worth it. Istanbul Modern is a must-visit for anyone in Istanbul who appreciates both art and architecture.
