Istanbul Painting and Sculpture Museum, Art museum in Vişnezade, Turkey
The Istanbul Painting and Sculpture Museum displays Turkish art collections across multiple floors in a renovated warehouse building with transparent facades.
The museum opened in 1937 at Dolmabahce Palace before relocating to its current location in Tophane, marking Turkey's first dedicated fine arts institution.
The permanent collection features 320 works, including the Ottoman-era Elvah-i Naksiye Collection with 85 original paintings from the Imperial Museum.
Located in central Istanbul, the museum opens daily except Mondays from 9 AM to 5 PM, offering guided tours and special exhibitions throughout the year.
During World War II, the museum protected its collection by temporarily relocating several artworks to different locations across Anatolia for safekeeping.
