Super Santralistanbul with kids. Opened in late 2007, Santralistanbul is a former power station that has been converted into a five-floor museum-cum-modern art gallery space.
Most folks in the know simply refer to this museum as Turkey's Tate Modern. Sure the Istanbul Modern and the Sakip Sabanci receive all the attention in town, but if you are traveling with kids to Istanbul this place should be on your Top Ten without a doubt. Fun factor for the kids: The Museum of Energy that's located in the basement. Monumental structures of cast iron built by companies such as Siemens and AEG are fully on display.
