The US Embassy in Armenia says the project will renovate the Vagharshapat museum and improve conditions for its 261 artworks.
Sole source: The US Embassy in Armenia has announced the launch of a $166,000 US-funded project to renovate and preserve the Khoren Der-Harootian Memorial Museum in Vagharshapat.
The embassy says the museum holds works by Khoren Der-Harootian, an Armenian-American modernist artist. The project is supported by the US Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation, through which the United States has allocated approximately $1.84 million to 16 preservation projects in Armenia since 2005, the embassy said.
The embassy says the project will support renovation of the building, restoration of its two exhibition floors and improvements to how the collection is preserved and displayed. The embassy says the work is intended to protect the museum’s 261 artworks over the long term and improve the environment for visitors.
According to the embassy, the project aims to safeguard Der-Harootian’s artistic legacy and improve public access to his works.
According to the embassy, its public affairs officer Griffin Rozell and Armenia’s deputy minister of education, science, culture and sports, Alfred Kocharyan, joined the launch.
