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.

In the 60s, Alberto Giacometti paid homage to Paris, the city where he lived, by drawing its streets, cafés, and more private places like his studio and the apartment of his wife, Annette. These drawings would make up his last book, Paris sans fin (Paris Without End).
Istanbul’s Seaside Leisure: Nostalgia from Sea Baths to Beaches exhibition brought together photographs, magazines, comics, objects, and books from various private and institutional collections, and told a nostalgic story while also addressing the change and socialization of the norms of how Istanbulites used their free time. Istanbul’s Seaside Leisure was a documentary testament of the radical transformations in the Republic’s lifestyle.
It is understood from Evliya Çelebi’s well-known Book of Travels that the history of sea baths goes as far back as the 17th century; their acceptance and popularization take place in mid-19th century as a result of Westernization, among other things.
