Altındağ, Ankara
An art center converted from 1920s railway maintenance workshops, known for its contemporary art exhibitions and events.
Its story
The buildings are railway workshops built in 1926–1927 for train maintenance and repair after the nationalization of the railways. Used until the mid-1990s, the workshops then stood idle behind Ankara Station, and at one point their demolition was considered. Restored to a design by architects Semra and Özcan Uygur, they opened as a contemporary art center in 2010. With large exhibition halls, an open courtyard and a stage, it hosts temporary exhibitions, concerts and workshops. It is within walking distance of Gençlik Park and Ankara Station.
