Istanbul Museum of Modern Art

This guide to the Istanbul Museum of Modern Art traces the site's path from a 1950s customs shed on the Karaköy docks to Turkey's first modern art museum, opened in 2004 through the decades-long dream of founding patrons Nejat and Oya Eczacıbaşı. It follows the museum's displacement by the Galataport development and its 2023 return in a new building by Renzo Piano, and lingers on Refik Anadol's Infinity Room, an installation built from the Bosphorus's own environmental data.
