The ‘Trojan Treasures: Please Come Back’ exhibition aims to raise awareness about the importance of repatriating lost artifacts.

Hosted by the Beyoğlu Municipality and organized in collaboration with the Istanbul Marmara Education Foundation, the exhibition showcases photographs of ancient artifacts from the ancient city of Troy.

The exhibition highlights the significance of cultural heritage preservation and the need to address issues related to the illicit trafficking of cultural artifacts.

Many of the artifacts on display were illegally excavated and smuggled out of Turkey, leading to their loss from their country of origin.

The exhibition serves as a platform to advocate for the return of these treasures to their rightful place in Turkey.

Through powerful imagery and storytelling, the exhibition sheds light on the historical and cultural value of the Trojan artifacts.

Visitors are encouraged to reflect on the ethical implications of owning and displaying looted cultural heritage.

The ‘Trojan Treasures: Please Come Back’ exhibition invites viewers to consider the broader implications of the global trade in illicit cultural artifacts.

By engaging with the exhibition, attendees are urged to support efforts to combat the illegal trade of cultural heritage and promote the repatriation of stolen artifacts.
