Which is the brightest star of the ursa minor? How do you measure the distance between celestial objects and the horizon? After a guided tour of the exhibition, we learn about some devices that were used to determine time and direction before mechanical clocks became common, such as the quadrant and astrolabe used in astronomy, as well as a device called qibla-numa. Then, using simple materials we design our own astrolabe, a device used to measure the latitude of a location when held towards the North Star. Through this workshop, we improve our ability to make objective observations using our senses and measuring tools, as well as our knowledge of astronomy.

Henryk Weyssenhoff, author of landscapes, prints, and illustrations, devoted much of his creative energies to realistic vistas of Belorussia, Lithuania, and Samogitia. A descendant of an ancient noble family which moved east to the newly Polonised Inflanty in the 17th century, the young Henryk was raised to cherish Polish national traditions.
A series of small and rather similar nudes Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu and Eren Eyüboğlu produced in the early 1930s almost resemble a ‘visual conversation’ that focus on a pictorial search. It is also possible to find the visual reflections of this earlier search in the synthesis Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu reached with his stylistic abstractions in the 1950s.
