Exhibition brings tulip heritage to Istanbul art scene

The “Tulipomania” (Tulip Mania) exhibition has opened at the Temporary Exhibition Hall of the Istanbul Tulip Museum, affiliated with the Istanbul Tulip Foundation.

Held annually during tulip season in Istanbul, this year’s exhibition features 101 tulip sculptures painted by visual arts teachers and students from all 39 districts of the city in collaboration with the Istanbul Provincial Directorate of National Education.

The exhibition, with Dr. Ali Cantürk serving as general art director and İsmail Acar as curator, showcases works in a variety of disciplines, including artificial intelligence art, paintings, sculptures, ceramics and tile art.

Blending contemporary and traditional approaches, the exhibition aims to build a bridge between the past and the future.
