We're doing an archaeological dig at the museum! Participants first learn about what archeology is and its methods, then follow the basic principles of archeology at the miniature excavation sites in the workshop and try to uncover the traces of the past with tiny replicas of some of the artifacts from The Art of Weights and Measures exhibition. In the workshop, where different stages such as sifting the soil, recording the stratigraphy, taking photos, drawing the trench and filling the excavation diary will take place with teamwork, the participants finally comment on their findings and talk about archeology.

Berggren acquires the techniques of photography in Berlin and holds different jobs in various European cities before arriving in İstanbul. Initially en route to Marseille, he disembarks from his ship in 1866 and settles in İstanbul, where he is to spend the rest of his life.
Following the opening of his studio, “El Chark Societe Photographic,” on Beyoğlu’s Postacılar Caddesi in 1857, the Levantine-descent Pascal Sébah moves to yet another studio next to the Russian Embassy in 1860 with a Frenchman named A. Laroche, who, apart from having worked in Paris previously, is also quite familiar with photographic techniques.
He had imagined the court room as a big place. It wasn’t. It was about the size of his living room, with an elevation at one end, with a dais on it. The judges and the attorneys sat there. Below it was an old wooden rail, worn out in some places. That was his place. There was another seat for his lawyer. At the back, about 20 or 30 chairs were stowed out for the non-existent crowd.
