Looking for a way to spend your Friday evening in Istanbul surrounded by art, history, and inspiration?
Then here’s a great idea for you: Pera Museum’s “Long Friday” event!
Every Friday between 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM, the museum opens its doors free of charge to all visitors.
You can explore fascinating exhibitions and enjoy the elegant atmosphere of one of Istanbul’s most iconic museums.
Pera Museum is one of the most remarkable art venues in Istanbul.
Founded by the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation, it houses an impressive collection ranging from Orientalist paintings to contemporary art and photography.
One of the most significant artworks here is “The Tortoise Trainer” by Osman Hamdi Bey — the original painting is exhibited at Pera Museum and is definitely worth seeing.
The “Long Friday” experience doesn’t stop with the exhibitions!
During the same hours (6:00 PM – 10:00 PM), the museum café also offers a 10% discount.
It’s the perfect time to relax, enjoy a delicious meal or dessert, and reflect on the art you’ve just seen.
I personally loved the food — tasty, elegant, and in a very peaceful atmosphere. 🍽️✨
Self-improvement isn’t just about studying from books — it’s about seeing, exploring, and experiencing.
Visiting museums, learning from history, and making small, meaningful choices all contribute to growth.
Change and development may feel challenging, but they’re always rewarding in the end. 🌟
