Eagles that Zeus used to shoot lightning at people when he got angry, the lion that Alexander the Great sent to fight with a general or one of the horses of King Erichthonius, who is rumoured to have thousands of horses. These are just a few of the legendary symbols that appear on lead weights.
In this workshop, children tour The Art of Weights and Measures exhibition with a guide and examine lead weights depicting various legends and urban stories. Then, the children, who imagine themselves as merchants of a city-state in Anatolia 2500 years ago, shape clay dough and design weights with the symbols of the legend in their dreams.
Capacity: 15 people
Fee per workshop: 150 TL
The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907 in Coyoacán, Mexico. Exactly 47 years from now, before she died in the same city and her beloved Mexico, many things would happen; she’d meet Diego Rivera, become a world-renowned artist, and allow many of her fans to dress like her on Halloween.
Born on October 25, 1881 in Malaga, Spain, Pablo Picasso’s full name takes about two lines: Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruíz y Picasso.
Mario Prassinos liked Istanbul more than the current Istanbulites of today. It is obvious that you can understand this from the article written by her daughter Catherine Prassinos in the Pera Museum's book on the artist.
