Turkey Gets A MoMA

Turkey opens its first museum of modern art in Istanbul. “Warehouse No. 4 was turned into a museum by frantic construction work, which went on until the last moment and cost about $5 million. The building features two stories of 4,000 square meters (1-acre) each. On the upper floor, the permanent collection consisting of about 4,000 pieces — all by Turkish artists — will be exhibited on a rotational basis.”
