Is it a bird holding a tall pitcher with one foot and drinking from it with its long neck bent, or is it the letter “A”?
During a guided tour of Extraordinary Minas, children design creative alphabets based on the animal letters at the entrance of the artist's studio in Thessaloniki, which also inspired the font of the exhibition title. By transforming the letters into creatures such as birds, snakes and tigers, they develop a visual language that is both fun and original.

The event will take place in the Pera Museum.
In the works of western painters, we encounter mosques as the primary architectural elements that reflect the identity of the city of Istanbul. Often we can recognize the depicted landscape as Istanbul simply from the mosques.
With the Topkapı Palace, the center of political authority until the 19th century, and many other examples of classical Ottoman and Byzantine architecture included in its premise the Historical Peninsula is the heart of the Empire.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Pera Museum invites artist Benoît Hamet to reinterpret key pieces from its collections, casting a humourous eye over ‘historical’ events, both imagined and factual.
