One day, the chess pieces came to life and created their own country! But the inhabitants of the Land of Pawns were a little outnumbered and needed new ones!
In this workshop, children visit Marcel Dzama: Dancing with The Moon, full of colorful characters and fairy tale heroes, and discover the artist's sculptures inspired by chess pieces. Then, they use their imagination to design new pawns for the Land of Pawns. Children make their big pawns with colorful styrofoam pieces and complete their designs by painting the heroes of this fun adventure and using various decoration materials.

Is Istanbul a single city? Will Istanbul too, be one day one day divided into different sections, and numbered like the arrondisements of Paris? These are tough questions indeed!
The Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation’s Orientalist Painting Collection includes two children’s portraits that are often featured in exhibitions on the second floor of the Pera Museum. These portraits both date back to the early 20th century, and were made four years apart. One depicts Prince Abdürrahim Efendi, son of Sultan Abdulhamid II, while the figure portrayed on the other is Nazlı, the daughter of Osman Hamdi Bey.
Giorgio de Chirico was born on July 10, 1888, in Volos, Greece, to an Italian family. His mother, Gemma Cervetto, was from a family of Genoa origin, but most likely she was born in Izmir. His father, Evaristo, was born on June 21, 1841 in the Büyükdere district of Istanbul.
