What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
Istanbul has several small museums and contemporary art exhibitions, this one The Museum of Modern Art (Istanbul Modern) is the largest and most famous of them. Previously located in a large building on the waterfront in Beyoglu district, the exhibition was very rich. As of 2019, due to the development of the territory, it temporarily moved to a small building in the same area closer to Istiklal Street. Because of this, part of the collection became inaccessible, temporary exhibitions were reduced, the special entourage of the huge old building was lost. At the same time, the price for visiting remained the same.
For this reason, you can still skip it until it returns to the old building, or the price will not be made appropriate. If you are a lover of modern art, then of course you must visit even now.
