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).

Pera Museum presents an exhibition of French artist Félix Ziem, one of the most original landscape painters of the 19th century.
In 1493, exactly 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci was finishing the preparations for casting the equestrian monument (4 times life size), which Ludovico il Moro, Duke of Milan commissioned in memory of his father some 12 years earlier.
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
