Exploration of Turkish Art via Museums

About

Istanbul, one of the oldest cities in the world, a city located on two continents, is the biggest city in Turkey. Also, the new center of modern and contemporary art with its historical and cultural roots. In this beautiful city, we would like to show Anatolian Civilizations and Arts, Traditional and Contemporary Turkish Arts by interactively visiting museums.

Within the two weeks, students will learn quite a little information about Anatolian and Turkish art through presentations in classrooms, then they will prove this information in museums experimentally. The Course contains Hittite, Phrygian, Lydian Arts, Traditional Arts, Calligraphy, Miniatures, Tiles, the best works of contemporary Turkish artists, and many more.

The museums that will be visited are Istanbul Archeological Museums, Topkapı Museum, Sakıp Sabancı Museum, Pera Museum, Proje 4L Museum, İstanbul State Art and Sculpture Museum, and Istanbul Modern Museum.
