Eagles that Zeus used to shoot lightning at people when he got angry, the lion that Alexander the Great sent to fight with a general or one of the horses of King Erichthonius, who is rumoured to have thousands of horses. These are just a few of the legendary symbols that appear on lead weights.
In this workshop, children tour The Art of Weights and Measures exhibition with a guide and examine lead weights depicting various legends and urban stories. Then, the children, who imagine themselves as merchants of a city-state in Anatolia 2500 years ago, shape clay dough and design weights with the symbols of the legend in their dreams.
Capacity: 15 people
Fee per workshop: 150 TL
The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).
