The Moon Path Ceramic Exhibition, organized by the Museum of Replica Sculpture Works at MSKÜ, attracted great attention.

The Moon Path Ceramic Exhibition, organized by the Museum of Replica Sculpture Works at Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University (MSKÜ) in collaboration with Bodrum Faculty of Fine Arts Ceramic Department, the Barrier-Free Campus Unit, and the Faculty of Literature Archaeology Department, opened. The exhibition held in the museum located within the Rectorate building was attended by MSKÜ Vice Rector Prof. Dr. Ali Sülün, faculty deans, lecturers, and students.

The exhibition, where different works were displayed, received great interest. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hülya Bulut, the Museum of Replica Sculpture Works and Exhibition Coordinator, who made the opening speech at the exhibition, thanked MSKÜ Rector Prof. Dr. Turhan Kaçar for making this exhibition possible.

In her speech, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bulut also mentioned that starting from the main theme of ‘Education and Research in Museums’ set by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) for the year 2024, the idea of preparing an exhibition to which students from different departments of our University would contribute was initiated. She emphasized that what sets this exhibition apart from others is that visitors with visual impairments will have the chance to experience a ceramic exhibition based on original works; the exhibition will not only reveal the potential of interdisciplinary collaboration and harmony among our students but also contribute to the preservation of our region’s world-famous cultural heritage values.

Briefly providing information about the Hekate Temple, Bulut said, ‘As is known, Hekate is a very important goddess for the ancient Carian people and has been accepted in the Roman pantheon as well. The most famous temple dedicated to the goddess is the Lagina Hekate Temple in our region, and it is also important for being the first excavations conducted by Turkish archaeologists in our country.’

Prof. Dr. Burcu Karabey, the Dean of Bodrum Faculty of Fine Arts, expressed her pride in her students and stated that they aim to participate in even more beautiful exhibitions in the future.

The Exhibition Curator, Lecturer Dr. Nevin Yalçın Beldan, stated that they had organized a meaningful exhibition, thanked the participants, and provided information about the exhibition.
