Istanbul Modern is preparing to bid farewell to its temporary space in Beyoğlu. The museum will welcome its visitors for the last time in Beyoğlu on Sunday, February 27, 2022. The new building designed by Renzo Piano is slated to open soon.

Since 2018, Istanbul Modern has hosted all events and exhibitions at its temporary space in Beyoğlu which encompasses temporary and permanent exhibition halls, photography gallery, educational workshops, library, cinema, and shop. The closing date of the temporary space is scheduled for Sunday, February 27, 2022.

The exhibitions in Beyoğlu

Istanbul Modern is preparing to bid farewell to its temporary space in Beyoğlu, where visitors can see a collection exhibition, “Interactions”, and the “Artists’ Film International” project. Spread across two floors of the museum, the collection exhibition features 40 works by 20 artists and two artist duos from various generations. "Interactions” explores the relationship between artists and their sources of inspiration through a selection from the museum’s collection, and the Artists’ Film International project focuses this year on the theme of “care”.

Following the closure of the museum’s temporary space, Istanbul Modern will begin the process of moving to its new building.

Return to Karaköy

Istanbul Modern will reopen at its original location in Karaköy in a new building designed by Renzo Piano, the architect of iconic museums and art and culture institutions in cities around the world.

A visitor-centered museum designed to world-class standards, Istanbul Modern’s new building is being constructed with the joint contributions of the museum’s founding sponsor, the Eczacıbaşı Group, and its main sponsor, Doğuş Group-Bilgili Holding. The new building will soon welcome visitors to its exhibition halls, educational workshops, cinema, library, design shop, event spaces, café and restaurant.
