Pera Museum presents a guided exhibition tour series titled Pursuing the Masters' Legacy alongside Coffee Break exhibition. The third tour of this series examines the contributions of Armenian craftsmen to the Kütahya tiles and ceramic craftsmanship. The works of Artin and Garabet Minasyan brothers, along with David Ohannesian, are examined comparatively with the pieces in the collection, in terms of technique and decoration.
Pursuing the Masters’ Legacy explores the works of ceramic masters from Kütahya. This series of exhibition tours focuses on the second golden age of tile and ceramic production in Kütahya, spanning the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The period's ceramic art was significantly shaped by four masters: Hafız Mehmed Emin Efendi, Minas Avramidis, the brothers Artin and Garabet Minasyan, and David Ohannesyan. Their works are examined in detail, providing participants the opportunity to see pieces not displayed in the exhibition.
The 30-minute guided tour is free of charge, and the language is Turkish. The quota is limited. To join the tour, you can make a reservation by e-mailing at resepsiyon@peramuzesi.org.tr.
