This exhibition explores the art of leather of Turkey starting with 8000 BC.

The story begins with nomadic Asian roots found in Pazırık, continues with Catalhöyük in Anatolia and ends with the Republic of Turkey.

Journey of the Turks from Inner Asia to Anatolia (Asia Minor) incorporated many different centres of power and artistic traditions.

Influences can be traced from Asian roots mingled with the ancient civilizations of Anatolia like Hittites, Urartians, Phrygians, Ionians to the Byzantines, Seljuks, Oğuz tribes and Ottomans, and in which urban sophistications of the Türkmen and Yörük nomads all participated to create a colourful symphony.

These works of art passed down by earlier generations astound us with their diversity, glowing colour harmonies, skilful workmanship and striking designs.

Leather is an ancient profession in the country now known as Turkey, a land heir to two different traditions of tanning and leathergoods production.

The first tradition was that of the Mediterranean tanners who derived their experience from those of the Sumerians, Egyptians, and Hittites. The second leather tradition arrived with Turks who have created a fascinating leather art as they absorbed the diverse cultures and religions they encountered on their wanderings.

There is a long and arduous journey ahead of us: the lines in the poetry of Homer, the old Dede Korkut stories, the armor of Alexander the Great, the tradition by Ahi Evran, the Anatolian aphorisms: “The leather conceals the cheese, the man conceals the woman”.
We have decided to opt for the easier path and try to take a brief look at the adventure of leather in Turkey.
