Seminar
October 7, 2023 / 10:00
Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Pera Museum presents the Late Antique and Byzantine Weights and Measures Seminar for undergraduate and graduate students, featuring selections from the museum’s Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection. The seminar seeks to provide young researchers engaged in the study of Late Antique and Byzantine economy, trade, and culture with a novel approach to the prevalent commerce and trade practices of the era.
The intensive full-day program consists of the seminar and workshop sessions. The first segment of the program focuses on theoretical knowledge pertaining to Late Antique and Byzantine weights and measures. The second segment involves in-depth workshop sessions examining common tools found in the marketplaces of the era, as featured in the museum collection.
The Late Antique and Byzantine Weights and Measures Seminar will be held physically at the Istanbul Research Institute. The program language is Turkish. Attendance to the program is free; however, students travelling from outside the city must cover their own accommodation and transportation expenses.

A series of small and rather similar nudes Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu and Eren Eyüboğlu produced in the early 1930s almost resemble a ‘visual conversation’ that focus on a pictorial search. It is also possible to find the visual reflections of this earlier search in the synthesis Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu reached with his stylistic abstractions in the 1950s.
John Frederick Lewis is considered one of the most important British Orientalist artists of the Victorian era. Pera Museum exhibited several of Lewis’ paintings as part of the Lure of the East exhibition in 2008 organized in collaboration with Tate Britain.
