Silent Witnesses Exhibition

Rezan Has Museum, Cibali brings together the silent witnesses of past civilizations and the present day. The process of civilization of mankind that began approximately ten thousand years ago, with their daily life, beliefs, social and commercial relations, struggles against nature and even the wherewithal they developed to resist death, are all on display.

The works of several civilizations that settled in Anatolia, and its environs, between 7500 BC and 1500 AD are exhibited chronologically. Seals, medical instruments, weapons, figurines, idols and weight measurements, illuminating products are displayed thematically within their own historical period.  A bronze bath tub dated between 1 BC and 1 AD, a silver-mounted bronze surgical set, painted objects of 2000 BC, Urartu needles, obsidian arrow ends, harnesses, offering statues, oil lamps and clay sculptures are all included in the exhibition.

The exhibition covers a wide range of periods from the Prehistoric Era to the Seljuk Empire and also includes art work and findings from Turkey’s leading collectors that have not been previously displayed. The collection of Haluk Perk Museum, which is open only for academic studies, will be on display to the public for the first time.

From Neolithic to Seljuk Silent Witnesses Exhibition is open throughout 2010.
