Pera Kids
Ages 7-12
Have you heard of the astronomical measuring instrument called the astrolabon, which combines the words "star" and "to catch" in Ancient Greek? Children and their fathers, who tour The Art of Weights and Measures exhibition with a guided tour, get to know tools such as quadrant and astrolabe, which are measuring instruments used in astronomy, as well as determining time and direction in the past. Participants then design star-collars that can measure the latitude of their location when they go out on a cloudless night and point it towards the pole star.
Capacity: 10 children (and their fathers)
The event is free of charge. eservation is required.
The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

Selected from the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Photography Collection, we present the landscapes and places in Istanbul photographs, dating from the 1850s to the 1980s, together with their present-day views!
You try to remember the future. A bird painted on the ceramic panel in a historical palace has found its place on the wall. The tiles of a church and a mosque have been painted on canvas. The pattern of a centuries-old ceramic plate appears before you on a velvet curtain.
As artisanship became a part of artistic practices with the blurring of art and craft, the use of traditional motifs has also flourished. In this context, how are these motifs currently structured or designed beyond their traditional connotations?
