I find it very difficult to sit still, even in rainy weather I want to get out of the house and see what's going on outside my comfort zone.

When the sky is overcast, you especially need bright colors, inspiration and life energy. For this “cocktail” I advise you to go to "Istanbul Modern" - the first museum of modern art in Turkey. There are interesting displays, photographs, paintings, sculptures, strange mini exhibitions inside; some exhibits are admirable, others induce discomfort, and even disgust.

Modern art is an emotional abundance: excitment and joy, denial and antipathy, confusion and interest. Your mind seems to be expanded when you are trying to penetrate the mysteries of a work. A viewer should forget all the traditional notions about the art. He must get closer to the painting to find himself inside of it, and then something very unusual happens: we immerse ourselves into the painting, the lines are turning into colors, the colors are becoming lines. There is a feeling of nothing.

I don't know about you, but I always die of starvation after museums. For this case, there is a wonderful panoramic restaurant in "Istanbul Modern", fortify yourself with something tasty. 😋🎨
