Teachers visit the Souvenirs of the Future exhibition inspired by the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation's Kütahya Tiles and Ceramics Collection. Upon experiencing the exhibition, which establishes a connection between memory and future imaginings through contemporary artworks, teachers unleash their creativity, decorating and transforming broken ceramic and marble pieces. They learn about the Japanese philosophy of Kintsugi, which involves accepting, embracing, and interpreting imperfections with a new perspective, and explore ways to convey this philosophy to their students.

Jean-Léon Gérôme is among the most renowned artists of the second half of the 19th century. One of the most fervent advocates of academic painting, Gérôme declared a personal war against modern movements such as Impressionism.
Inspired by its Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection, Pera Museum presents a contemporary video installation titled For All the Time, for All the Sad Stones at the gallery that hosts the Collection. The installation by the artist Nicola Lorini takes its starting point from recent events, in particular the calculation of the hypothetical mass of the Internet and the weight lost by the model of the kilogram and its consequent redefinition, and traces a non-linear voyage through the Collection.
In a bid to review the International System of Units (SI), the International Bureau of Weights and Measures gathered at the 26th General Conference on Weights and Measures on November 16, 2018. Sixty member states have voted for changing four out of seven basic units of measurement. The kilogram is among the modified. Before describing the key points, let us have a closer look into the kilogram and its history.
