Kütahya, renowned for its vibrant and colourful ceramic motifs, became one of the most significant ceramic production centres of the Ottoman Empire during the 18th century. Its diverse range of products, designed to meet daily needs, earned widespread societal admiration. These ceramic treasures transformed into genuine artworks under the skilful hands of artisans, who were inspired by cultural motifs from Europe, the Far East, and Anatolia, thus bearing witness to profound cultural exchanges.
The guided tour explores the cultural interactions between the Ottoman Empire, the Far East, and Europe, as reflected in the motifs of Coffee Break exhibition and “Kütahya Tiles and Ceramics Collection”. Participants have the opportunity to see two currently unexhibited artefacts.
Turkish coffee is offered to the participants of the exhibition tour.
The 30-minute guided tour is free of charge and will be in Turkish. With the exception of Long Fridays, a separate museum entrance ticket must be purchased. The capacity is limited. To secure your spot for the tour, kindly make a reservation by emailing at resepsiyon@peramuzesi.org.tr.
