After visiting Intersecting Worlds and Osman Hamdi Bey exhibitions with a guide, children take a historical journey into Istanbul's past by examining the centuries-old portraits and cityscapes in the paintings. In the workshop, children cut out details from the printouts of different paintings selected from the exhibition and place them between transparent films. They intervene with various decorative materials such as colored string and paints and finalize their collages with a laminating machine.

Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 400 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum.

Souvenirs of the Future

Souvenirs of the Future
