We're doing an archaeological dig at the museum! Participants first reflect on what archaeology is and its methods, then try to uncover the traces of the past by following the basic principles of archaeology in the miniature excavation areas in the workshop. In the workshop, where different stages such as sifting the soil, recording the stratigraphy, taking photographs, drawing the trenches and filling the excavation diary will be carried out with teamwork, the participants finally interpret their findings and talk about the importance of archaeology.

Nudes With Mirrors

Nudes With Mirrors

Although mythological themes are not commonly encountered in Turkish painting, it is possible to see variations of widespread themes such as the Venus at her Toilet. 

History of a Khanjar

History of a Khanjar

Henryk Weyssenhoff, author of landscapes, prints, and illustrations, devoted much of his creative energies to realistic vistas of Belorussia, Lithuania, and Samogitia. A descendant of an ancient noble family which moved east to the newly Polonised Inflanty in the 17th century, the young Henryk was raised to cherish Polish national traditions.

The Search for Form

The Search for Form

A series of small and rather similar nudes Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu and Eren Eyüboğlu produced in the early 1930s almost resemble a ‘visual conversation’ that focus on a pictorial search. It is also possible to find the visual reflections of this earlier search in the synthesis Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu reached with his stylistic abstractions in the 1950s.
