Pera Kids
Ages 9-12
Children visiting Pera Museum have the opportunity to experience it layer by layer, from its exterior facade to its floors, from Osman Hamdi Bey exhibition floor to his fictional workspace, and finally inside the painting The Tortoise Trainer. At the end of this process, the children create a design that encompasses all these layers. They are invited to embark on this journey, which includes different and interactive stages such as a museum tour, virtual reality experience, and artistic production.
Capacity: 10 people
Duration: 90 minutes
The event is free of charge. Reservation is required.
The event will take place in the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

Our institutions have been stuck on linear Neo-Platonic tracks for 24 centuries. These antiquated processes of deduction have lost their authority. Just like art it has fallen off its pedestal. Legal, educational and constitutional systems rigidly subscribe to these; they are 100% text based.
1638, the year Louis XIV was born –his second name, Dieudonné, alluding to his God-given status– saw the diffusion of a cult of maternity encouraged by the very devout Anne of Austria, in thanks for the miracle by which she had given birth to an heir to the French throne. Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.
This life-size portrait of a girl is a fine example of the British art of portrait painting in the early 18th century. The child is shown posing on a terrace, which is enclosed at the right foreground by the plinth of a pillar; the background is mainly filled with trees and shrubs.
