At this workshop, we get together with the children to dig into a star map and unearth the secrets of the stars we see in the night sky, plumb the depths of outer space to explore stars and galaxies. We learn about the sun, the closest one to our Earth, and then, other stars and life phases in the distant depths of the universe. We explore the nebula-supernova black hole forms that occur at the birth and death of super stars. With the help of interactive practices that stimulate imagination, we try to perceive how far stars are from our Earth, examine constellations in 3D. During this workshop, we enhance cognitive, socio-emotional and psychomotor skills through the inquiry-based learning method.

Artist Nicola Lorini in Conversation

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.

The adventure of the Big ‘K’

The adventure of the Big ‘K’

In a bid to review the International System of Units (SI), the International Bureau of Weights and Measures gathered at the 26th General Conference on Weights and Measures on November 16, 2018. Sixty member states have voted for changing four out of seven basic units of measurement. The kilogram is among the modified. Before describing the key points, let us have a closer look into the kilogram and its history.
