Guided Tour
February 21, 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.
The quota is full. Thank you for your interest.
