Seminar
June 2 - 3, 2023
In collaboration with the Istanbul Research Institute, Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Pera Museum presents the Epigraphy of Weights Workshop for undergraduate and graduate students as part of its Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection. The program, which embraces an interdisciplinary perspective to explore the topics of weight and measures often overlooked in the studies on epigraphy, is designed to provide young researchers working on Ancient History and archaeology with the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge foundation.
Attendees will enjoy seminars on the science of epigraphy on the first day of the two-day program. The second day of the program will focus on practical work, and the epigraphy of Anatolian weights will be further explored through case studies and workshops.
The Epigraphy of Weights Workshop will be held face-to-face at Istanbul Research Institute. The language of the program is Turkish. The program is free to attend, and students from outside Istanbul must afford accommodation and transportation.
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.

Ali Sami is born in Rusçuk in 1866, and moves to İstanbul. Because his family is registered in the Beylerbeyi quarter of Üsküdar, Ali Sami is also called Üsküdarlı Ali Sami. He graduates from the Mühendishane-i Berri-i Hümayun in 1866 and becomes a teacher of painting and photography at the school.
