Join art critic Alastair Sooke on a journey of discovery to the world's most inspiring museums. This time he is in Turkey's biggest city Istanbul as he explores the recently built new home of Istanbul Modern.

Alastair gets a personalised tour of the gravity-defying new building from architect Renzo Piano, meets Refik Anadol, a superstar artist working on the cutting edge of AI-driven creativity and discovers the fascinating story of Fahrelnissa Zeid, one of the forgotten geniuses of 20th century painting.
