The durable clay tablets are like a time travel machine, sending the reader back thousands of years and allowing them to witness the curiosity and efforts of someone who lived many years ago. In the workshop, children traveling back in time are inspired by the replica of a clay tablet found in Kültepe, which is featured in The Art of Weights and Measures. Designing a unique alphabet where they encode each letter with a symbol, the children write a note on the clay tablets they create with this alphabet as a souvenir of their day at the museum.
Capacity: 12 people

Inspired by its Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection, Pera Museum presents a contemporary video installation titled For All the Time, for All the Sad Stones at the gallery that hosts the Collection. The installation by the artist Nicola Lorini takes its starting point from recent events, in particular the calculation of the hypothetical mass of the Internet and the weight lost by the model of the kilogram and its consequent redefinition, and traces a non-linear voyage through the Collection.
