The project is located on a prominent city centre site at the intersection between Al-Farabi Avenue and Nazarbayev Avenue. The 10,000m2 building contains the facilities for permanent galleries, temporary exhibitions, featured artists’ rooms, a library and visible art storage and conservation laboratories. The galleries are arranged around a central, enclosed art street which seamlessly extends out to a variety of exterior terraces, plazas and parkscapes. These spaces are for public interaction and for urban art displays. The building started construction in late 2022. FYP is providing liaison services between the British and Turkish architectural teams, and specialist museological consultancy.
