As we reflect on 2020 with all the surprises and changes it brought, and move into 2021 with hope and resilience, the RC Quarterly’s 57th issue turns its focus to the fine arts. Indeed, is there a better source of reinvigoration and inspiration than art? This issue surveys how art was taught at RC and how it is evolving to provide students new skills, as well as presenting the illuminating perspectives that our alumni in the arts offer (p. 34). Can Göknil ACG 66 was kind enough to allow us to reprint one of her works as a In postcard insert for this issue, and we thank her for her generosity. Because the precautions around the pandemic continue, the RCQ reports on how Robert College is handling it all in the 2020-2021 school year (p. 10). Details are up this to date as we go to print, but please note they could change again by the time the issue magazine reaches you. The pandemic did not stop our alumni from receiving awards, writing books, and being in the news, and the RCQ proudly features many of their accomplishments.

The study includes evaluating the e- comments made about the private museums in İstanbul by analyzing the contents by taking advantage of the comments shared in the electronic environment. The comments are divided into building, restaurant and souvenir, management, environment and transportation, wages, collection, personnel sub-dimensions. In this study, the top ten museums that received the most comments from the private museums in Istanbul on the TripAdvisor site were examined. The reason why www.tripadvisor.com is preferred for content analysis of e- comments is that it has the largest source of travel, accommodation and destination information in 49 countries operating in the world where 435 million comments and opinions come in with 390 million unique visitors per month. As a result of the evaluation, 4,868 reviews were reviewed and the interpretations were divided into subcategories such as building, restaurant and souvenir, management, environment and transportation, wage, collection and personnel, and positive and negative evaluations were provided.

    Synopsis : Istanbul I. Natural resources : Water Wild life and open spaces Mineral ressources Monuments II. Human resources : Health Education Culture Economy Istanbul Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey, constituting the country's economic, cultural, and historical heart. Istanbul is a transcontinental city in Eurasia, with its commercial and historical centre lying on the European side and about a third of its population living on the Asian side of Eurasia. With a population of 14.1 million, the city forms the largest urban agglomeration in Europe as well as the largest in the Middle East, and the sixth-largest city proper in the world. Istanbul straddles the Bosphorus strait in northwestern Turkey, between the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea. Founded on the Sarayburnu promontory around 660 BC as Byzantium, the city now known as Istanbul developed to become one of the most significant cities in history. For nearly sixteen centuries following its reestablishment as Constantinople or Nea Roma ("New Rome") in 330 AD, it served as the capital of three empires: the Roman and Byzantine (330–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin (1204–1261), and the Ottoman (1453–1922) empires. It was instrumental in the advancement of Christianity during Roman and Byzantine times, before the Ottomans conquered the city in 1453 and transformed it into an Islamic stronghold and the seat of the Ottoman Caliphate. Approximately 11.6 million foreign visitors arrived in Istanbul in 2012, two years after it was named a European Capital of Culture, making the city the world's fifth-most-popular tourist destination.
