Participants who take a guided tour of the exhibition On the Spot: Panoramic Gaze on Istanbul, a History examine panoramas that have been used to document Istanbul's natural and urban elements. In a workshop led by music therapist Danny D. Kora, participants embark on a musical journey towards the polyphonic nature of Istanbul. Drawing inspiration from a composition transcribed by Henri Kowalski for the panoramic display of Istanbul at the 1900 Paris World Fair, participants listen to both the city's sounds and their rhythms, using techniques and tools such as musical instruments, musical communication, and songwriting.

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.
Organized in collaboration with the Giacometti Foundation, Paris, the exhibition explores Giacometti’s prolific life, most of which the artist led in his studio in Montparnasse, through the works of his early period as well his late work, including one unfinished piece. Devoted to Giacometti’s early works, the first part of the exhibition demonstrates the influence of Giovanni Giacometti, the father of the artist and a Swiss Post-Impressionist painter himself, on Giacometti’s output during these years and his role in his son’s development.
The second part of exhibition illustrates Alberto Giacometti’s relations with Post-Cubist artists and the Surrealist movement between 1922 and 1935, one of the important sculptures series he created during his first years in Paris, and the critical role he played in the art scene of the period.
