Cornucopia’s choice: the pick of cultural events in Istanbul and around the world

What’s on in Turkey

  • Nexus of empire

    After years of construction, the new Afyonkarahisar Archaeological Museum certainly exceeds long-awaited expectations. Founded in 1933, the museum was originally located in the historic city centre of Afyonkarahisar. Serving as a landmark of the area, it boasted a stunning collection of the region’s rich offerings that span thousands of years. Eventually, the collection grew to such an extent that the old building proved to be inadequate. Plans were drawn up to build a new larger building to showcase the wealth of its offerings.

  • Pondering time immemorial

    Towering monoliths, shrouded in shades of black and white, make for an intimidating atmosphere at the Pera Museum’s latest exhibition titled Isabel Muñoz: A New Story.
