Titled “Osmanlı Döneminde Venedik ve İstanbul: Nam-ı Diğer Aşk” (Venice and İstanbul During the Ottoman Era: In Other Words, Love), the exhibition will bring together artifacts from a number of museums in Venice and İstanbul, including the Topkapı Palace Museum, the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts, the Pera Museum and the Yapı Kredi Vedat Nedim Tör Museum, the Anatolia news agency reported. Scheduled to run through to Feb. 28, 2010, the show's aim is to highlight the interaction between the two cities, starting from the 15th century through to the 1900s in the diplomatic, military, commercial and artistic spheres.

The show will be jointly curated by a team of experts including SSM director Nazan Ölçer, Musei Civici Veneziani director Giandomenico Romanelli, Venice's Museo Correr curator Camillo Tonini and Associate Professor Giampiero Bellingeri from Venice's Ca'Foscari University.
