Exhibition Tour
December 5, 2023 / 13:30
Discovered in Ethiopia as the “magic fruit,” and reaching the land of the Ottomans through Yemen in the 15th century, coffee soon assumed its place as a prestigious beverage in the palace and wealthy households. Over time, coffee not only generated its own rituals and ceremonies, but also played an instrumental role in the development of social life.
Organised on the 10th anniversary of the inclusion of Turkish coffee culture and tradition on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list, the Coffee Break exhibition tour explores the various routines, rituals, and relationships centered on coffee, as well as concepts associated with modernism, such as public space, social roles, and economics, through an examination of coffee culture and Kütahya ceramic production, which largely contributed to its development.
All visitors will be able to drink Turkish coffee with a 20% discount at Pera Café during 5-6 December.
The 30-minute guided tour is free of charge, and the language is Turkish. Museum entrance fee must be paid separately. The quota is limited. To join the tour, you can make a reservation via resepsiyon@peramuzesi.org.tr e-mail address.
