An intelligent, deep and very stylish space in the heart of Istanbul. The museum's collection combines both Western and Eastern art — here you can see paintings by Ottoman masters, rare works by Orientalists, as well as regularly updated international exhibitions.
Special attention should be paid to the famous painting "Turtle Training" and the permanent collection of orientalist paintings — aesthetics in which you lose yourself. The interiors are bright and calm, the expositions are decorated with respect for the viewer.
Plus, there is a great souvenir shop and a cozy cafe on the ground floor.
An ideal place for those who appreciate art not in a crowd, but in dialogue. A must-visit if you want to see intelligent Istanbul beyond the tourist cliches.

The museum is currently hosting an exhibition by the artist Marcel Jam
I really liked his work.
I recommend visiting the museum itself
Each exposition is carefully thought out, the light and music are selected.

The entrance to the museum costs 300 lire! An exhibition by Marcel Dzama is taking place on the 5th-4th floor. We were absolutely delighted, at first glance children's illustrations, but with political overtones! And of course, we also appreciated the Ottoman classics on the second floor! Well, a lot has already been written about the painting "Turtle Trainer", I won't repeat myself.

A pleasant museum, five floors of exposition. At the top is modern art (for an amateur), below are artifacts related to weights and measures, even lower are history, landscape painting. There is a very beautiful canvas embroidered with silk. The second floor is occupied by a portrait gallery, mostly with works by little-known European masters of the 18th and 19th centuries. A very beautiful and lovely cafe on the ground floor with a small grand piano in the middle. The food is delicious and fresh for 5.

A very atmospheric museum. For my taste, halls with modern art can be safely skipped. But what really deserves attention is the hall where panoramas of Constantinople and Istanbul are exhibited. And, of course, painting. Especially the Turtle Trainer. In this picture, everyone sees their own.

On Friday evenings, you can visit the museum for free. There was an exhibition of modern paintings, and downstairs there was a hall with art from the 19th century. It's quite interesting, the museum itself is very pleasant.

An important player in the world of contemporary art in Istanbul and Turkey as well.
The museum is located next to the most famous Istiklal pedestrian street in the Taksim district in the historic building of the Bristol Hotel (1893). The building has five floors, not counting the lower floor with a hall, a museum store and a cafe. Temporary exhibitions are located on the three upper floors, which change approximately every two months.
On the second floor, works from the museum's collection are oriental art of the 19th century by European and Turkish artists. The famous painting "The Turtle Trainer" by Osman Hamdi Bey is located here.
There are two permanent exhibitions on the ground floor: to the right - a collection of Anatolian measures and clocks (more than 10,000 objects from antiquity to the present), and to the left - tiles and ceramics of Kutakhya (800 objects from different periods)
At the Pera Museum, the Isabel Muñoz photo exhibition "Yeni bir hikaye" (New History) is currently taking place on the upper two floors, photographs from and near Gebekli Tepe - the most mysterious and ancient place of worship that leaves no one indifferent, documentaries are intertwined here with artistic image processing.
The exhibition will run until September 17th
And on the third floor, the exhibition "Zamane Istanbul" has been extended by 11 Istanbul photo artists telling their stories of Istanbul.
Monday is a day off at the museum.
On Friday, the museum is open until 22.00 and free of charge, on Sunday until 18.00, on other days until 19.00.
The ticket price is 80 lira, with a discount of 40 TL
The cafe has delicious coffee and croissants.

I visited the Pen Museum in Istanbul with my sister. It was very close to our hotel. It is very small in size, with different directions of art. There were photographs, installations, paintings. I can't say that we were impressed by the art collected in it, but we ticked the box about visiting.

A small private museum that works a little longer than the state ones, for which I thank him very much) Turkish culture, art, traditions-all this is reinterpreted here and shown in such a way that it becomes a little closer and clearer to us living in another world)

Only for the view from the window of the city and the design of the exhibitions. In general, it is interesting if you have nothing to occupy yourself at all, 100 lire is expensive for such a museum
