Pera Kids
Ages 7-12
Throughout history, weights used in Anatolia for everyday purposes and shopping have reflected the symbols of the time. What would a weight look like if you were to design one now?
Accompanied by a guide, children visit The Art of Weights and Measures and examine the weights used by merchants who lived in Anatolia in the past. Then, inspired by the weights depicting legendary figures, animals and urban stories of the period, children design weights from ceramic clay paste that reflect today's symbols.
