Exhibition Tour
January 17, 2025 / 18.30
Pera Museum presents Coffee’s Forty Years of Gratitude guided tour series as part of the Coffee Break exhibition. This series tells the story of coffee’s journey from Ethiopia to Yemen, Yemen to the Ottoman Empire, and eventually to Europe, viewed through the lens of ceramic and tile production shaped by coffee culture.
Turkish Coffee and Its Tradition (2013) and Traditional Tile Art (2016), recognized as cultural assets of Türkiye on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List, are thoughtfully intertwined in this special tour series. These guided tours allow visitors to explore the relationship between coffee and ceramic production while gaining a thematic perspective on Kütahya ceramics.
At Pera Café, Turkish coffee is 20% discounted to the guests participating in the exhibition tour.
Quota is full. Thank you for your interest.

Following the opening of his studio, “El Chark Societe Photographic,” on Beyoğlu’s Postacılar Caddesi in 1857, the Levantine-descent Pascal Sébah moves to yet another studio next to the Russian Embassy in 1860 with a Frenchman named A. Laroche, who, apart from having worked in Paris previously, is also quite familiar with photographic techniques.
John Frederick Lewis is considered one of the most important British Orientalist artists of the Victorian era. Pera Museum exhibited several of Lewis’ paintings as part of the Lure of the East exhibition in 2008 organized in collaboration with Tate Britain.
