Participants who take a guided tour of the exhibition On the Spot: Panoramic Gaze on Istanbul, a History examine panoramas that have been used to document Istanbul's natural and urban elements. In a workshop led by music therapist Danny D. Kora, participants embark on a musical journey towards the polyphonic nature of Istanbul. Drawing inspiration from a composition transcribed by Henri Kowalski for the panoramic display of Istanbul at the 1900 Paris World Fair, participants listen to both the city's sounds and their rhythms, using techniques and tools such as musical instruments, musical communication, and songwriting.

The Bosphorus, which divides the city from north to south, separates two continents, renders Istanbul distinct for western painters, offers the most picturesque spectacles for western artists.
Due to its existence behind closed doors, the lifestyle and attires of the women in the Harem have been one of the most fascinating topics for western painters and art enthusiasts alike.
When we examine the Ottoman-themed paintings of indoor everyday life by western painters, musical entertainment attracts attention as a fundamental aspect of the lifestyle.
