100 MUSEUMS IN ARMENIA, NAGORNO-KARABAKH TO JOIN PAN-EUROPEAN MUSEUM NIGHT
15:12 â~@¢ 16.05.14
Museums Unite Us is the slogan of the European Night of Museums 2014
event which this year attracts around 100 museums in Armenia and the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
At a news conference on Friday, Director of the Alexander Spendiaryan
House-Museum Marine Otaryan said the event has established its unuique
place in the museums' life, helping them build stronger bridges with
the society.
"People often come to the museum on that day not in order to get
familiarized with the exhibits but to take part in interesting events.
If you ask the visitors, 'do you remember anything?', they will find
it difficult to answer. We will start the events at 19:00 in the yard,
and the museum will be open from 22:00," she said.
Hasmik Melkonyan, the Avetik Isahakyan House-Museum's director also
attending the news conference, said they were among the first to join
the initiative, adding that she feels very happy to see the people's
flow on that day.
"We just want to be remembered not just on that single day,
because one day is not enough for getting familiarized with the
museum materials. I call upon parents to bring up their children
with museums from an early age. Our museums are really interesting,
and there is definitely a lot to learn," she added.
Melkonyan said the museum will start the events at 6:00 pm local time
with the readings of the great writer's poem Abu La La Mahari.
Isahakyan's literary pieces in the poet's voice and the songs composed
based on his writings will be played during the event.
"The museum will also feature expositions kept in the stocks. And
after 23:00, documentaries dedicated to Isahakyan will be presented,"
Melkonyan added.
