Collections[edit]
The Kulenovic Collection includes works of art, Chinese ceramics, arts and crafts, and archaeological findings that during 600 years have been collector´s items for the influential Kulenovic-family. The family had their sphere of activity in the Balkans, Venice, Constantinople/Istanbul and Persia. Representatives of the Kulenovic family were since 1447, in eight generations forward, pashas at the sultanate in the Ottoman Empire and a parallel branch of the family were international businessmen and civil servants at the Doge in Venice.
Collections history[edit]
The western art in the Collection covers a period from the Renaissance to around 1920. The Eastern objects originate from the Ottoman Empire, the countries around and the regions along the Silk Road from Istanbul to Peking.
