How did people use to shop? How did they measure the commodities they were buying? After a guided tour of the exhibition, we explore the types of weights Anatolian merchants used in the past. Then we take a detailed look at weight units made of lead, which depict urban legends and other stories, and then design our own weights using ceramic clay. Through this workshop, we learn about weights used in Anatolia over the centuries while developing our dexterity and imagination.

Giacometti & the Human Figure

Giacometti & the Human Figure

Giacometti worked nonstop on his sculptures, either from nature or from memory, trying to capture the universal facial expressions.

Giacometti’s Final Works

Giacometti was selected for three important retrospectives at the New York Museum of Modern Art, the Tate Gallery in London and the Louisiana Museum of Art in Denmark, all of which were a great success. 

Paris Without End (1959-1965)

Paris Without End (1959-1965)

In the 60s, Alberto Giacometti paid homage to Paris, the city where he lived, by drawing its streets, cafés, and more private places like his studio and the apartment of his wife, Annette. These drawings would make up his last book, Paris sans fin (Paris Without End).
