Doğançay Museum, Turkey’s first contemporary art museum, opened its doors to the public in 2004. Located in Beyoğlu, in a 150-year-old five-storey historic building, the museum exhibits a small retrospective of Burhan Doğançay’s works, along with the works of his father Adil Doğançay. The works by the artist in the museum cover his fifty-year artistic development, starting from his early figurative paintings and extending to his works inspired by city walls and his photographs.
Since 2005, in cooperation with İstanbul Metropolitan Municipality and sponsor companies, Doğançay Museum has been organizing juried art competitions in primary education schools and sharing the results with the public. Every year, an average of 7 thousand students aged 8-14 from 1500 schools participate in this event. The museum plans to continue these competitions in the future, which aim to support education through art.
