Miklagard Art Exchange believes that cultural diversity is an asset for setting wiser cultural mindset to achieve what is valuable with enlightening perspective. For Scandinavians of early times, İstanbul was the place to go, as we go to New York. The city was the largest the Vikings knew of, and it is not so strange that they referred to place as The Great City; this is what the name Miklagard means. In response to the cultural dimension of the past, Miklagard Art Exchange seeks to use the new paths to change cultural mindset and influence the creative ideas.
