Pera Kids
Ages 4-6

  • November 14, 2024 / 10:30

A fun adventure in pursuit of the squirrel who sneaks into the museum! After listening to the squirrel's tale, children visit Calculations and Coincidences with a guide and collect the transparent geometric shapes left for them in front of some of the works in the exhibition and place them on their squirrel-shaped templates. Afterwards, the children go down to the workshop and use their flashlights to reflect the colorful geometric shapes in their squirrels' bellies on the wall in a dark environment and have a pleasant experience woven with colors and shapes.

Instructor: Anna Karayorgi
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 60 minutes
Fee per workshop: 300 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

Game of Mangala

Game of Mangala

Three figures in Eastern dress are shown in repose against an exotic landscape, smoking pipes and playing mangala. Inventories of the royal collections from 1739 identify the members of this group as the royal eunuch Matthias and two odalisques.

At the Order of the Padishah

In this piece, Żmurko presents an exotic image of a harem chamber, replete with gleaming fabrics and scattered jewels, as a setting for the statuesquely beautiful body of an odalisque murdered “at the order of the padishah”. 

The Battle of Varna

The Battle of Varna

Over the years of 1864 through 1876, Stanisław Chlebowski served Sultan Abdülaziz in Istanbul as his court painter. As it was, Abdülaziz disposed of considerable artistic talents of his own, and he actively involved himself in Chlebowski’s creative process, suggesting ideas for compositions –such as ballistic pieces praising the victories of Turkish arms.
