During the twenty-five years since its debut, Milli Re Art Gallery organised various exhibitions, which were widely acclaimed in art circles and followed with interest. The gallery published numerous books and publications, with texts by eminent authors and art critics, most of which are referenced in the art literature. These publications which function as a memory to build art in Turkey, also introduced various important artists to mark their arts for the first time in the recorded art history. Some of the exhibitions held at the Milli Re Art Gallery have also been displayed in other countries, including, among others, Germany, France, Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Georgia and Finland.
