CerModern

Ankara’s first and only contemporary art museum is in a renovated former train maintenance depot not far from the train station. The space showcases both established international artists and up-and-coming local artists through well-conceived temporary exhibits (the museum has no permanent collection). The venue also hosts film screenings, concerts, and other events, and there’s a hip café and small gift shop.

Resim ve Heykel Müzesi

Ulus

These galleries, in an ornate marble building next door to the Ethnography Museum, display a vast number of works by late Ottoman and modern Turkish artists. With a few exceptions, most of the latter haven't earned international recognition, yet this collection provides an interesting glimpse into the way Turkey's artists have been influenced by Western trends over the last century and a half. Schools of art such as Impressionism and Abstract Expressionism are represented among the portraits, landscape paintings, sculptures, and other works on display.
