Building on and diversifying this tradition, the exhibition presents a selection of 80 objects by Turkish designers from different generations. The eleven artists have one thing in common: their work contains echoes of the Ottoman-Turkish traditions of art which have been fused with forms determined by modern functionality. To experience these contemporary aesthetic standards in direct neighbourhood to the historic objects from the museum’s collection is certainly a challenge.
