"What Byzantinism Is This in Istanbul!" Online Exhibition Tour for Teachers

Teachers

In a guided online 3D tour, we explore the exhibition “What Byzantinism Is This in Istanbul!” and its collection of modern renditions of Byzantine history on various artistic media. Then, we take a look at the common themes in literature, music, visual arts, comics, film and fashion that relate to Byzantine history in various ways, and try to make sense of the apparent differences based on field, region and historical period.

Teachers will discover ways of integrating Pera Museum exhibitions’ curricula-compatible Teacher Guidebooks into their classroom activities and accompanying their students in the exhibitions, as well as a wide range of activities for different age groups.

Mosques in the 18th and 19th Century Paintings

In the works of western painters, we encounter mosques as the primary architectural elements that reflect the identity of the city of Istanbul. Often we can recognize the depicted landscape as Istanbul simply from the mosques.
