While there are evaluations made about the works, creativity is also supported in these events based on feedback and creativity. The training program aims to make the museum a part of daily life. In line with this aim, Pera Education programs are being maintained through creative, entertaining events prepared by people from different age groups and those with physical disabilities, complete with a collection of exhibits along with periodic exhibitions.
