  • Remember, it's all about quality and not quantity - focus on a few artworks that truly speak to you. Share your thoughts with your partner. You can even play a game to guess the story or message behind a painting.
  • Make sure to end the date on a high note with a meal at the Istanbul Modern's cafe. Not only does it have an excellent menu, but the location offers a breathtaking view of the Bosphorus. It's a perfect setting to discuss the art youโ€™ve seen over a glass of wine.
