It looks at the heart of Turkish culture and illustrates masterpieces brought together from museums from all over Turkey.0Turkish culture is characterised by rituals and religion.

The masterpieces are borrowed from prestigious collections, such as the Topkapi Palace Museum, the Istanbul Archaeological Museum and the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara.00Exhibition: BOZAR, Brussels, Belgium (06.10.2015-07.01.2016).
