In Istanbul, happiness continues at the Happy Hour pop-up museum!
Happy Hour TR is Turkey’s first interactive art experience and social media museum! It came to life last summer in Galata, Istanbul! After a very colourful summer, this fun experience is now continuing in Maslak! In separately themed rooms, visitors become part of the art rather than watching it from the outside. What’s more, they have a different experience in every room, and they turn these experiences into memorable keepsakes through photos and videos.
At this entertainment hub, the concepts are constantly changing, giving visitors moments to remember. Visitors climb into a bathtub with yellow rubber ducks. They can also play basketball in an endless blue ball pit. In the infinity rooms they cross into other dimensions, and in the disco room they enjoy the most musical kind of fun. Throughout this journey, visitors will pass from room to room, becoming part of this harmonious world and encountering a colourful experience at every step. It is an experience that will stay with them.
Kaan Dönmez, the founder of this content paradise, has collaborated with many brands. He aims for the venture to bring a fresh breath to Turkey’s art world. At the same time, he wants visitors to escape the tiring, grey atmosphere of everyday life, even if only for an hour, and to step into a colourful world.

Why are experience venues like the Happy Hour pop-up museum so popular?
In classic museums, visitors usually look at works from a distance. In interactive art, however, the viewer becomes part of the work and influences how it takes shape through their own movements. The Happy Hour pop-up museum turns this idea into a fun social media experience. Each room has its own concept, so visitors create their own stories through photos and videos.
Venues like these serve as an easy gateway, including for people who have had little close contact with art before. It is a good idea to check tickets and opening hours through official channels before visiting. For a definition and examples of interactive art, you can see the interactive art entry on Wikipedia. And for another creative event in Istanbul, read our story on the Fashion Film Festival.
Museums like these are becoming a different kind of meeting point, especially for groups of friends and families at weekends. For those who love taking photos, every room is a ready-made set. And you can complete the visit in a short time.
