What to See in the Pera Museum

Inside the museum, you'll discover three permanent collections that enchant and educate. The Orientalist Paintings collection transports you across continents, presenting the beauty and richness of Orientalist art and its cultural exchange. The Anatolian Weights and Measures collection offers insight into the history of trade and measurement systems in Anatolia, revealing the ingenuity of ancient civilizations. Lastly, the Kutahya Tiles and Ceramics collection showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and decorative artistry of Kutahya ceramics, a true testament to the region's artistic heritage.

However, the Pera Museum is more than just a repository of art; it is a dynamic cultural center. Through collaborations with leading international museums, collections, and foundations, the museum introduces acclaimed international artists to Turkish audiences, fostering cultural exchange and enriching the local artistic landscape.

The museum also collaborates annually with national and international institutions to support young artists and hold exhibitions that expand artistic horizons. These exhibitions are accompanied by publications, audio-visual events, and learning programs that provide a deeper understanding of the artworks on display.

Beyond the Pera Museum's walls, Pera Film awaits. It offers a wide range of screenings, from classics to documentaries, creating a harmonious synergy between visual arts and cinema.
