This is where the ancient and modern meet. It is a cultural fault line expressed in art - the Museum which is child friendly captures the evolution of modern art from the 1900's to date and illuminates the emerging trends in modern art with an emphasis on Turkish artists. Well worth a visit.

After you see all the historic places in Istanbul, it will be nice to have a glance of Modern Art. This museum is situated on the Bosphorus with amazing views and the art gallery is really unique featuring the works of various artists from the current and last centuries
