Pera Museum

There are high quality exhibitions and museums worth visiting. The paintings in them are very Turkish, and the landscape paintings are even more beautiful. There are also some interesting small objects, which are very good. It's not far from other scenic spots. You can plan your trip here.

The Pella Art Museum is facing the Bosporus Strait, next to the famous Palace Hotel. The appearance of the building is still a five-storey building with Roman style. However, it contains small objects of Turkey's local human society, remembering that the gallery is on the fourth floor. The gallery is small, but the paintings in it mostly show Turkish local customs, including Istanbul figure paintings, as well as Istanbul landscape paintings. Among them, the painting of the tortoise trainer seems to be the most famous one. The ticket seems to be 10 lira. As for the traffic, I came along Independent Street. I think I can take a tram to walk under the Galatay Bridge.

The Pera Palace Hotel, which used to be, is said to have retained its original look so far, and this insistence is particularly enjoyable. It's not only a hotel, but also a museum. It has the earliest elevator in Turkey and the car of the King of Sudan. It's very luxurious anyway.

I include the Pera Museum in my guide on the Istanbul creative industry because it is one of the most innovative cultural organizations in the city. The modern cinema downstairs runs excellent film festivals and lectures focusing on contemporary themes, and the temporary exhibitions are great examples of modern curatorial work. The collection mostly focuses on 19th century art from the viewpoint of Western diplomats, and showcases the artistic school of orientalism. There is also a great café and bookstore on the ground floor.

Occupying an impressive Tepebaşı building, Pera Müzesi hosts impressive exhibitions, film screenings and workshops and is home to three permanent collections. The ‘Orientalist Paintings’ collection includes Osman Hamdi Bey’s famous “The Tortoise Trainer”.

Pera is such a classic old neighborhood of Istanbul. I went to this museum near the Italian Consulate about three years ago when there was an exhibition on Orientalist Art. Having read Said's famous book, I was curious to see all of the European paintings of camels, pyramids and women in veils that represented the western caricature of the "Orient."

The museum is conveniently located just off of Taksim's Istiklal avenue. Each of the 4 floors has a different theme and atmosphere, providing surprises as you climb up the stairs (or go to the top with the elevator and work your way down).As of this writing, on the second floor there are permanent exhibitions about the history of coffee, next to a collection of special Turkish ceramic tiles. Another room houses weights and scales from the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires, which sounds a bit boring but has fascinating historical and cultural knowledge written alongside to provide context. There's also an orientalist painting collection and a wall of photographs from early 1900s Istanbul.Pera doesn't disappoint when it comes to modern art either; past exhibitions include Greyson Perry and Alberto Giacometti and an upcoming exhibition looks at video art and pop music crossovers.

went there to see a Freida exhibit was lovely

Museum in a street, if you do not pay attention to it, it is easy to find, which is not big but shows a lot of things, there are many ceramics, the process is also very good.
