Exhibition / PICASSO - SUITE VOLLARD ENGRAVINGS

Picasso - Suite Vollard, Engravings exhibition presents renowned Spanish artist Pablo Picasso’s most important engraving series from the first half of the 20th century.
The engravings were a result of the collaboration between Picasso and his close friend, an ardent admirer of his work, an extraordinary editor and also a famous art dealer of the period, Ambroise Vollard.
Picasso’s loves, the model and the sculptor, nudity, portraiture and different mythological themes appear in these engravings where not only the topics but also the style and the technique provide insight into the artist’s creative universe of the time, the 1930s; when he was at the height of his artistic production.

Exhibition / HIPPODROM AND ATMEYDANI: A STAGE FOR ISTANBUL'S HISTORY

The exhibition ''''Hippodrome/ Atmeydanı: A Stage for İstanbul''''s History'''' takes the visitor on a tour of one of the major architectural achievements of Byzantine Constantinople. Images from the fifteenth and early sixteenth century show the structure of the Hippodrome to have been fairly well preserved at the time of the Ottoman conquest. The construction of Ottoman palaces and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, however, played a major role in the dismantling of the remains of the Hippodrome. Nevertheless, this large open space''''s association with horses was preserved. It became known as Atmeydanı (Horse Square) during the Ottoman era and was used for playing the equestrian game cirit. The Ottomans and the sultans also continued to hold celebrations and public spectacles in the area. Visitors to the Hippodrome today can view its three surviving monuments-the masonry obelisk, the Serpent Column, and the Egyptian obelisk-but few can easily imagine the splendor and size of the original Hippodrome that stood for more than eleven centuries.''''The Hippodrome/ Atmeydanı: İstanbul''''s Stage of History'''' exhibition almost rebuilds the magnificent Hippodrome decorated with exceptionally beautiful monuments and the Atmeydanı of the Ottoman period, and examines the life surrounding them.

Pera Museum / Beyoğlu

Museum is closed on Mondays

Exhibition / FROM TRADITIONAL TO CONTEMPORARY

Focusing on the relationship between art and the traditional, the Exhibition seeks to show how artists employ history in their construction of modernism. “From Traditional to Contemporary: Cultural Memory in Modern Turkish Art” will be focusing on the present and also on the past of modern art, bringing together a selection of objects, such as calligraphies, miniatures, stained glass, textiles, tombaks, and carpets. By juxtaposing these with the arts of Painting, Sculpture, Photography, and Installation, the Exhibition will encourage viewers to establish visual and conceptual relationships between works of art, on the one hand, and history and culture, on the other.

Did You Know This?

The Bosphorus
The Bosphorus was regarded as a summer resort during the Ottoman period and the traditional wooden houses and mansions, called “yalı”, were the choice of the wealthy Ottoman elite. Most of the development happened during the Tulip Period, a period, which is best represented by the Sadullah Paşa Yalısı, built in 1783. The oldest surviving yalı is the Amcazade Köprülü Hüseyin Pasha yalı located in Kandilli on the Asiatic shores of the Bosphorus and dates from 1699. The wooden seaside chalet mansions retained their basic architectural principles until the middle of the 19th century, when less flammable brick houses gradually replaced them especially during the First Constitutional Period. The development of “yalı”s lasted until the First World War.
