Pera Museum presents a guided exhibition tour series titled Pursuing the Masters' Legacy alongside Coffee Break exhibition. The third tour of this series examines the contributions of Armenian craftsmen to the Kütahya tiles and ceramic craftsmanship. The works of Artin and Garabet Minasyan brothers, along with David Ohannesian, are examined comparatively with the pieces in the collection, in terms of technique and decoration.
Pursuing the Masters’ Legacy explores the works of ceramic masters from Kütahya. This series of exhibition tours focuses on the second golden age of tile and ceramic production in Kütahya, spanning the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The period's ceramic art was significantly shaped by four masters: Hafız Mehmed Emin Efendi, Minas Avramidis, the brothers Artin and Garabet Minasyan, and David Ohannesyan. Their works are examined in detail, providing participants the opportunity to see pieces not displayed in the exhibition.
The 30-minute guided tour is free of charge, and the language is Turkish. The quota is limited. To join the tour, you can make a reservation by e-mailing at resepsiyon@peramuzesi.org.tr.

Our institutions have been stuck on linear Neo-Platonic tracks for 24 centuries. These antiquated processes of deduction have lost their authority. Just like art it has fallen off its pedestal. Legal, educational and constitutional systems rigidly subscribe to these; they are 100% text based.
Pera Museum presents an exhibition of French artist Félix Ziem, one of the most original landscape painters of the 19th century. The exhibition Wanderer on the Sea of Light presents Ziem as an artist who left his mark on 19th century painting and who is mostly known for his paintings of Istanbul and Venice, where the city and the sea are intertwined.
The Greek god Apollo and his son Asklepios presided over the realm of medicine and healing. Apollo was also the god of light and sun, whose solar symbolism and association with medicine would become linked to Christ the Physician, and the resurrected.
