Taksim Art & Hidden History Walk 🎨⛪
Join us for a Saturday afternoon exploring art and hidden history around Taksim and İstiklal Avenue.
We’ll start at Atatürk Cultural Center (AKM) and visit its current exhibition, then continue to İBB Taksim Sanat for another contemporary art stop.
Our final stop will be St. Anthony of Padua Church, one of the most iconic churches on İstiklal Avenue. We’ll also visit its underground crypt, a normally closed section of the church that has been opened to visitors as part of a special exhibition in 2026.
