The Pera Museum houses important collections of Orientalist paintings, Anatolian weights and measures, and Kutahya tiles. Regular collaborations with the Louvre and other major institutions bring world-class exhibitions to Istanbul. The classic building near Istiklal adds to the experience.

Editor's Tip

Don't miss the Orientalist collection. Louvre partnerships bring exceptional exhibitions. Beautiful building.
