Moussaab's secret book
Sightseeing
İnspired by renowned novelist Orhan Pamuk's (Nobel Prize Winner) novel of the same name, the Museum of Innocence is nestled in the picturesque quarter of Çukurcuma, where much of the book transpires. The countless number of household objects and photographs meticulously collected and displayed in the museum are connected to the bittersweet love story that unfolds in the novel. Taking his cue from the works of Joseph Cornell, Pamuk has arranged these objects into installations and collages housed in custom-built vitrines, which gleam like cabinets of curiosities inside the dimly lit museum. The winner of the European Museum of the Year Award in 2014

The trip here by ferry is half the fun, but this museum of fine arts, set in a sumptuous private villa, is one of the best in the city. It hosts touring exhibitions (recent ones have included Picasso and Rembrandt) and its own collection concentrates on exquisite Ottoman calligraphy. Plan your visit in time for lunch; the restaurant, MüzedeChanga, has a terrace overlooking the straits.
