Gazhane Museum

This is one of the most unusual museums I have visited and is a great example of how former industrial site was transformed into an art and cultural space. I think it can be excellent to be used as a co-working space, where you may come with laptop and spend sometime working on the projects. You may have lunch there as well in Beltur cafe. In the past, this place was a gasworks facility, essential for Istanbul’s energy supply. Today, it stands as a museum that preserves its industrial heritage and at the same time showcasing contemporary art and exhibitions. It was a truly interesting and unique experience. Far away from historical city center, it would be more convenient to go there by car.

Beautifully done facilities. They have museums, coffee, shops, open air objects to explore. Nowadays, they have a wonderful show about Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in one of the two museums.

The three stars are for the climate change exhibition. The rest of the site appears to have not been finished, with everywhere else closed off apart from the gallery (and cafe). Worth going for the climate exhibition if you are nearby, but I wouldn't make a special journey for it.

Great place for people for studying, just getting together, or to do some cultural activities. There are wonderful exhibitions and plays there. You can also enjoy food and bevarages from BelTur Cafe. Must go.

A beautiful and creative urban transformation of a former coal gashouse facility into great public places including an art gallery, performance stages, a climate museum, bookstore with a large selection, cafe, sculptures, and a playground.

So so incredible. The only thing is I couldn’t find the museum store, I wanted to donate, and I wish there were boxes. And it was FREE

As far as the free museums go it's one of the best (The best one is the Smithsonian in Washington). Some displays were out of order, but the whole place is educational and informative. We learned new things about global warming and its effects. They also have cafes and bathrooms for short breaks. Knowing that this place used to supply gas to my childhood home is another level of nostalgia.

Had a chance to see Tavioglu Collection in Gazhane. Its a collection of different art pieces made in last 50 years. You may visit until 30th March 2025.
