Doğançay Museum and its collection

The Doğançay Museum, located in the heart of Istanbul's bustling Beyoğlu district, is a significant landmark as Turkey's first modern art museum. It is dedicated to the artistic legacy of Burhan Doğançay, a renowned Turkish artist. The museum, which officially opened its doors to the public in 2004, is housed in a historic 150-year-old five-story building that was once home to a Greek family.

Renovation of the Museum

When Burhan Doğançay purchased the building in 1999, it was in a state of complete disrepair. However, after a major four-year renovation, the building was restored to its former glory. The interior was also converted to meet the high standards of a museum, making it a suitable place to showcase Doğançay's extensive and rich artistic production.

Artistic Legacy of the Doğançay Family

The Doğançay Museum is primarily dedicated to the work of its founder, Burhan Doğançay. However, one floor of the museum has been set aside to display the work of the artist's father, Adil Doğançay, who was a well-known Turkish impressionist painter. This provides visitors with a unique opportunity to explore the artistic legacy of both father and son.
