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.
