As you might already know, there are some big protests and riots going down in Istanbul at the moment, with what's emerging as the "Occupy Gezi" movement clashing with police over President Tayyip Erdogan's aggressive development policies in the historic city.
This "cultural centre" in Istanbul is called Sintralİstanbul. It was first opened in 1914 as the city's sole electric power plant, before its current life as Turkey's Museum of Energy.
