Established in the 100th year of the Republic, the Türkiye İş Bankası Painting and Sculpture Museum is celebrating the third anniversary of its opening. Located on İstiklal Avenue, the museum is offering free access to art lovers within this scope between October 24 and November 1.

Located in Beyoğlu and created through the restoration of the Baudouy Apartment, the museum has welcomed nearly 350,000 local and foreign art lovers in the three years it has left behind. The museum's exhibitions are formed by over 2,800 works belonging to the Türkiye İş Bankası Art Works Collection. Works by pioneering names of Turkish art such as Osman Hamdi Bey, Mihri Hanım, Şeker Ahmed Paşa, Hoca Ali Rıza, İbrahim Çallı, Şadi Çalık, Zühtü Müridoğlu, and Füreya Koral are exhibited in the museum.

Honored with a special commendation by the European Museum Forum, the museum has also been deemed worthy of various awards on platforms such as MUSE Awards, Stevie, Felis, Sardis, MarCom, and Globee. Between these dates, visitors can freely visit the permanent exhibition "Watching Turkish Painting" and the temporary exhibition "1914 Generation: Painters We Know".
