Pera Museum shares the “Orientalist Painting”, “Anatolian Weights and Measures” and “Kütahya Tiles and Ceramics” collections belonging to the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation and the values represented by these collections with the public through exhibitions, publishing products, oral events, educational events and scientific studies, and aims to pass them on to future generations.

The museum card is not accepted at the entrance. I paid 100 TL and went in. I was lucky to come at the time when the museum guide started explaining and I had the honor of listening to him, he explained very well and touched on different points. Later, when this explanation ended on the top floor, the crowd dispersed suddenly, but there were 4 more floors, I continued to tour them calmly. I was pleased, there are very beautiful works, especially the VR version of the Turtle Trainer, it was a different experience. But it is recommended not to get too close to the painting, I got a little closer to see the details of the work, the alarm rang :)
- The blonde woman in the glassware section had a slightly indifferent attitude, the cashier was smiling.
- I did not miss the fact that the exit door is through the cafe, which is a good strategy to encourage consumption.
