Children who visit Intersecting Worlds travel across the meandering paths of diplomatic history under the guidance of art. In the workshop, they use their imagination to create brand new characters inspired by the characters they see in the paintings in the exhibition. Children bring the characters in the stories they imagine to life by painting them on wooden pawns of different sizes, and at the same time, they look for ways to solve the problems these characters face in the story.

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.
When Karl XII of Sweden was defeated by Tsar Peter the Great of Russia in 1709, he fled to the Ottoman Empire and settled in Bender with his entourage for five years.
The Bosphorus, which divides the city from north to south, separates two continents, renders Istanbul distinct for western painters, offers the most picturesque spectacles for western artists.
