Istanbul exhibitions

After a weekend spent in Istanbul I can recommend some ongoing exhibitions again. The private foundation-based Pera Museum has "Wall, Arch and Dome. Byzantine Istanbul in the eyes of Ottoman photographers". I ama a sucker for historical photography as you know....

The Topkapi Palace and the Museum of Islamic Arts are showing "Anatolian weaving traditions" - unfortunately, I can't find a web presence, but if I do I will give it to you.

Until the 12th of May, the Yapi Kredi Kültür Merkezi's exhibition center on Istiklal Caddesi has an exhibition on the histroy of communications: "Nur-ı Dîdem Kızım Hâmidem" - displaying development from cuneiform tablets to Ericsson mobiles!
