From which direction does the sun rise? In what direction is North Star? What are the properties of magnets, whose power derives from Earth’s magnetic core, and how do they aid us in finding directions? In this workshop we explore the magnetic force of magnets and create our own compass using the Indian rope trick experiment. We learn about different concepts, such as magnetic force and magnetic field lines, while improving our focus and attention.

Istanbul-Paris-Istanbul: Mario Prassinos

Mario Prassinos liked Istanbul more than the current Istanbulites of today. It is obvious that you can understand this from the article written by her daughter Catherine Prassinos in the Pera Museum's book on the artist.

Artist Nicola Lorini in Conversation

Inspired by its Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection, Pera Museum presents a contemporary video installation titled For All the Time, for All the Sad Stones at the gallery that hosts the Collection. The installation by the artist Nicola Lorini takes its starting point from recent events, in particular the calculation of the hypothetical mass of the Internet and the weight lost by the model of the kilogram and its consequent redefinition, and traces a non-linear voyage through the Collection.
