Yesterday we visited the Istanbul Museum of Modern Art. Most of it was very modern. Not always my cup of tea, but some interesting works none the less.

The "Modern" feel is accentuated by the gallery being located by the old docks on the Bospherous, among the warehouses and having to walk through a car park to get to it.

There was a photo exhibition from a Turkish Journalist who was every where from: Cuba during the Missile crisis through to the Israeli Hostage Crisis at the '72 West Berlin Olympics.

Shown is a painting by Princess Fahrelnissa Zeid, who had a large section of the gallery devoted to her. It does not get more abstract than this.

Well worth a visit if you are ever in town.
