Published on 7.15.25
Turkish President Recep Erdoğan has won five more years in office, sparking concerns among artists and cultural figures who have faced intimidation under his rule. A new museum, Odunpazari Modern Museum designed by Kengo Kuma, is set to open in Eskişehir in June, featuring the collection of architect Erol Tabanca. The Istanbul Modern museum, designed by Renzo Piano, is nearing completion and aims to make art more accessible to the city's 16 million inhabitants through its new location in a 19th-century military factory, known as Istanbul Feshane.
