December 14, 2024 / 10:30
Pera Museum presents Anatolian Weights and Cultural Heritage Seminar for undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers within the scope of the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection. This seminar, which examines ancient measuring instruments within the framework of cultural heritage studies, aims to provide new perspectives on preservation and cultural heritage through a thematic approach offered by the collection. This intensive one-day program consists of seminars and workshops.
In the program’s first session, the Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection and the cultural heritage studies conducted within this framework are explored. The second session addresses the illicit trafficking of cultural assets, focusing on archaeological artifacts with examples from the past to the present and case studies. In the third session, archaeological cultural assets are discussed in the context of art crimes. The workshop analyzes the inventory status of Anatolian-origin cultural assets by using current databases and accessible collections worldwide.

Temporary Exhibition
As the measurement of discovery became the substance of myths, weighing and measuring, beyond being mere physical actions, became an important means of self-expression to those captivated by the universe and what lay beyond the boundaries of knowledge.

Istanbul’s Seaside Leisure: Nostalgia from Sea Baths to Beaches exhibition brought together photographs, magazines, comics, objects, and books from various private and institutional collections, and told a nostalgic story while also addressing the change and socialization of the norms of how Istanbulites used their free time. Istanbul’s Seaside Leisure was a documentary testament of the radical transformations in the Republic’s lifestyle.
