Istanbul Museum of Modern Art
Mandatory visit, the permanent collection is already worth it itself.
I'm ashamed to say I didn't know many of the exhibited artists, and thanks to this museum I'm now aware and have taken notes of many names to do a more proper research by myself now, back at home.
I was mesmerized by the rich artworks shown here, and happy - because I've been only for a few nights in the city, and in such place, with cultural importance and many key points and traces from history everywhere, I was feeling insecure and almost guilty from not visiting the Archeological Museum, for example - where I'll go to once I return to amazing Istanbul.
To me, it paid off: in contrast to Hagia Sofia, the Cistern, and other enclaves, seeing this other part, more modern, of Turkish art and movements, was great and worked as a parenthesis while it rained outside.
You can buy the tickets in advance at their website.
