About Müze Evliyagil

Müze Evliyagil is a private contemporary art museum and exhibition house in İncek, in Ankara's Gölbaşı district. It was founded in 2016 by the businessman Sarp Evliyagil and sits within a multi-purpose cultural complex with about 750 square metres of exhibition space, a garden used for three-dimensional works and a film hall. As a private museum it is supervised by the Ankara Ethnography Museum directorate, and it also runs a seasonal branch in Istanbul's Beyoğlu, Evliyagil Dolapdere. The museum is best known for its changing exhibitions. Since opening it has hosted solo shows by artists including Burhan Doğançay, Semiha Berksoy and İnci Furni. Two recurring projects run alongside the main programme: ArtOda, a series of short exhibitions and projects on changing themes, and Alfa, which gives young Ankara artists who have not yet had a solo exhibition the chance to show their work. The museum is also one of the venues for the Caz Derneği's "Jazz at the Museum" concert series, and it received the Contemporary Arts Foundation's institutional honour award in 2016. The current exhibition, Petrichor, runs from 8 November 2026 to 11 July 2027, according to the museum's website. The museum is open Friday to Sunday from 11:00 to 17:00, and entrance is free. By public transport, the museum recommends bus 192 (İncek) from stops at Opera, Sıhhıye, Kızılay or Milli Kütüphane to the Bahar Konakları stop (10543), then a short walk down the street signed for Çınar Kasrı.
