Proje4L / Elgiz Museum of Contemporary Art
The Elgiz Museum of Contemporary Art ( Turkish Proje4L / Elgiz Çağdaş Sanat Müzesi ) was founded in 2001 by Can Elgiz .
The museum's vision is to promote developments in contemporary art in Turkey and to support projects by young Turkish artists. When art institutions and museums began to flourish in the Turkish art scene in 2005, the premises were converted into a private museum to display the Elgiz collection.
Proje4L / Elgiz Museum of Contemporary Art is located in the Maslak financial district in Istanbul .
