Founded in 2004 as Turkey’s first museum of modern and contemporary art, Istanbul Modern was forced to move to a smaller, temporary location in Beyoğlu earlier this year due to ongoing construction work in Karaköy. While its temporary home is a far cry from its original seafront location, Istanbul Modern still continues to host cutting-edge exhibitions by artists from Turkey and abroad as well as those curated from its permanent collection. The in-house cinema regularly screens independent films programmed around ongoing exhibitions, contemporary directors and stand-alone events.
