A Place Beyond Traditional Art

Borusan Contemporary is a cultural hub that merges contemporary art with technology and media. Located in the Perili Köşk, also known as the Haunted Mansion, it is a space that stands out for its architectural uniqueness.

Founded in 2011 and rooted in the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection, the museum emphasizes media arts and hosts a diverse range of exhibitions and site-specific installations. The Perili Köşk, originally constructed around 1910, is significant not only for its artistic contribution but also for its tumultuous history during WWI, which led to its long period of inactivity before its revival.
