Action group ‘For the Museums of Armenia’ formed

An action group for Armenia’s museums has been formed to foster visits to museums and galleries and support Armenia’s museums.
 
Talking to journalists on Friday, author of the action group Karine Vardanyan noted that the group has organized trade exhibitions in front of the Sergey Parajanov Museum and the Avetik Isahakyan Museum.

“Those days proved to be holidays for all the participants. They could tear themselves away from everyday problems and satisfy their spiritual needs,” she said.

The first exhibition displayed collages by Karine Vardanyan, and the second different works by eight artists.

Action group coordinator Yevgenya Kazunyan noted that “from now on we are not going to offer exhibitions to museums because some think we are seeking PR. I would like to assure all of you that we are just helping museums.”

The action group has its Facebook page for all the museums to know about their activities.

“I want people to develop a habit of visiting museums and taking their children to museums. This is important for our society and children’s development,” Vardanyan said.

She informed the journalists that the third exhibition and sale was to take place in front of the Yeghishe Charents Museum.

However, this morning the director of the museum called the action group and told them she had heard the group is seeking PR.
