Pablo Picasso famously once said that "the purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls." The meaning of this great quote will not be lost when you view the collection at Gallery Apel.
This display of artworks is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Taksim. But Gallery Apel isn't the only drawcard here. Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace are some other worthwhile sights nearby.
