On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, Pera Museum is organizing a free guided exhibition tour of its collection exhibitions in collaboration with the İBB Kültür AŞ. Collection exhibitions, curated from Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation collections, are presented to visitors with the accompaniment of a guide.
Intersecting Worlds: Ambassadors and Painters sheds light on Ottoman-European relations between the 17th and 19th centuries. The exhibition titled Osman Hamdi Bey highlights the artistic identity of Osman Hamdi Bey, who made significant contributions to Ottoman archaeology, cultural heritage, and museology. Meanwhile, The Art of Weights and Measures explores 4000 years of commercial history in Anatolia through weight and measuring instruments.
The 1-hour guided tour is free of charge, and the language is Turkish. The quota is limited. To join the tour, you can make a reservation via resepsiyon@peramuzesi.org.tr e-mail address.
