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.

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.
Jean-Léon Gérôme is among the most renowned artists of the second half of the 19th century. One of the most fervent advocates of academic painting, Gérôme declared a personal war against modern movements such as Impressionism.
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.
