This is my brand new tour of " centuries and even millennium old arts and craftsmanship" from Istanbul revealing the Byzantine and ottoman heritage through the masters while performing what they are known for. The owner of the small signature, or initial on the artwork you have been appreciating will show up in person and all your curiosity will be met; may it be in a 4 century old long forgotten ottoman establishment, or over the ruins of the Byzantine palace; each stop will be a unique encounter. This is also incredible opportunity to boost the young and curious brain of the kids. Some of these works go to private museums or collections. These are the same artists who restore top notch museum antique pieces.
