Financial Times announces: Orhan Pamuk's 'Museum of Innocence' is on the list of the world's 60 best house museums

The British newspaper Financial Times featured the Museum of Innocence in Istanbul in its weekly "House/Home" supplement this week.

In the article by Hugo Cox, it is noted that in the Museum of Innocence, everything is something other than what it appears to be, which leaves visitors feeling dizzy.

The article, which states that visiting the Museum of Innocence has a striking effect on a tourist similar to wandering through Istanbul without a guide, also recalled that the museum was named the European Museum of the Year by the European Museum Forum in 2014.

EMPHASIS ON ITS FICTIONAL SPIRIT

The article, which also summarizes the passionate love novel of the same name, highlights the museum's fictional spirit by stating that the story of the museum's creation is told in the novel.

An exhibition consisting of replicas of the display cases from Pamuk's Museum of Innocence and twenty new box works created by Pamuk is currently on display at the Old Masters Picture Gallery in Dresden.

This traveling exhibition will subsequently visit the Lenbachhaus in Munich (May 2024), the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague (November 2024), the Picasso Museum in Paris (May 2025), and the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon (October 2025).
