The Mustafa Ayaz Foundation Museum of Plastic Arts shows work from across the painter's career, drawn from different periods of it. The building runs to roughly five thousand square metres of usable space, and the museum floors are only part of it: there is also an art gallery, studios, a library, a gift section and a café.
The Mustafa Ayaz Art Gallery on the ground floor holds regular exhibitions of Turkish and foreign artists, and the studios run courses in preparation for fine arts faculties as well as classes in painting, sculpture and ceramics. The museum is on Ziyabey Caddesi in the Balgat district of Ankara and is reached on public transport leaving from Kızılay or Güvenpark.
