Description
The Odunpazarı Modern Museum is an art museum located in the historic neighborhood of Odunpazarı and houses contemporary art collections across multiple levels.

History
The museum opened in 2019 and stands in the historic Odunpazarı district where timber trading flourished during Ottoman times. This cultural center represents a modern reinterpretation of an area long connected to traditional artisanal trades.
Culture
The galleries display contemporary works from Turkish and international artists through rotating exhibitions and artistic installations throughout the year. Visitors experience art displayed in conversation with the building's distinctive architectural spaces.
