Children draw inspiration from the magical world of orientalist paintings by visiting the Intersecting Worlds: Ambassadors and Painters and Osman Hamdi Bey exhibitions with a guide. In the workshop, they imagine the unseen part of "The Tortoise Trainer" and transfer it onto paper using mixed techniques. Afterwards, with the help of the Journey into Osman Hamdi Bey's World – Virtual Reality Experience, the children step inside the painting. They then discuss the similarities and differences between what they've imagined and the digitally constructed space.

Capacity: 8 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 200 TL

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

The Golden Horn

The Golden Horn

When regarding the paintings of Istanbul by western painters, Golden Horn has a distinctive place and value. This body of water that separates the Topkapı Palace and the Historical Peninsula, in which monumental edifices are located, from Galata, where westerners and foreign embassies dwell, is as though an interpenetrating boundary.
