The Sergei Parajanov Museum is a tribute to Soviet Armenian director and artist Sergei Parajanov. It represents Parajanov's diverse artistic and literary heritage. The museum was founded in 1988 when Parajanov moved to Yerevan. Parajanov himself chose the place (Dzoragyugh ethnographic center in Yerevan) and construction project of the museum. Due to the 1988 Armenian earthquake and socio-economic problems, the museum was opened only in June 1991, one year after Parajanov's death. The museum is one of the cultural centers of Yerevan, known for its exhibitions, publications and honorary receptions (including the annual meetings of Yerevan International Film Festival guests). Comprising some 1,400 exhibits, the museum's collection includes installations, collages, assemblages, drawings, dolls, and hats. The museum also showcases unpublished screenplays, librettos and various artworks that Parajanov created while in prison.

Ο Σεργκέι Παρατζάνωφ (1924 –1990) ήταν Σοβιετικός σκηνοθέτης και καλλιτέχνης αρμενικής καταγωγής. Το Μουσείο Σεγκέι Παρατζάνωφ βρίσκεται στο Ερεβάν της Αρμενίας και είναι αφιερωμένο στο έργο του Αρμένιου σκηνοθέτη Σεργκέι Παρατζάνωφ. Το μουσείο ιδρύθηκε το 1988 με πρωτοβουλία της αρμένικης κυβέρνησης αλλά άρχισε τη λειτουργία του το 1991 λόγω του σεισμού που είχε προηγηθεί τρία χρόνια νωρίτερα. Το οίκημα που το στεγάζει επιλέχθηκε από τον ίδιο τον σκηνοθέτη, αποτελείται από δύο ορόφους και βρίσκεται στο κέντρο της πρωτεύουσας. Αποτελεί ένα από τα δημοφιλέστερα μουσεία της πόλης και κατά καιρούς το έχουν επισκεφθεί προσωπικότητες όπως οι Βλαντιμίρ Πούτιν, Πάουλο Κοέλιο, Βιμ Βέντερς κ.α. Φιλοξενεί τουλάχιστον 1.500 εκθέματα, τα οποία αποτελούνται από κολάζ, σχέδια, φωτογραφίες, πίνακες ζωγραφικής, αυτοσχέδιες κούκλες, art installations κ.α. Η πλειονότητα των εκθεμάτων δημιουργήθηκε κατά την παραμονή του Παρατζάνωφ στη φυλακή. Εκτός από αυτά σε δύο δωμάτια φιλοξενούνται αφίσες ταινιών του, τιμητικά βραβεία καθώς και μέρος της αλληλογραφίας του με τον Φεντερίκο Φελίνι, τον Αντρέι Ταρκόφσκι κ.α Μέρος των εκθεμάτων έχει φιλοξενηθεί σε εκθέσεις στο εξωτερικό όπως στη Μόσχα, την Αθήνα κ.α.

Yerevan,Erivan:
Yerevan (sometimes spelled Erivan is the capital and largest city of Armenia as well as one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities. Situated along the Hrazdan River, Yerevan is the administrative, cultural, and industrial center of the country. It has been the capital since 1918, the thirteenth in the history of Armenia, and the seventh located in or around the Ararat plain.
The history of Yerevan dates back to the 8th century BC, with the founding of the fortress of Erebuni in 782 BC by king Argishti I at the western extreme of the Ararat plain. Erebuni was designed as a great administrative and religious centre, a fully royal capital. By the late ancient Armenian Kingdom, new capital cities were established and Yerevan declined in importance. Under Iranian and Russian rule, it was the center of the Erivan Khanate from 1736 to 1828 and the Erivan Governorate from 1850 to 1917, respectively. After World War I, Yerevan became the capital of the First Republic of Armenia as thousands of survivors of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire arrived in the area. The city expanded rapidly during the 20th century as Armenia became part of the Soviet Union. In a few decades, Yerevan was transformed from a provincial town within the Russian Empire to Armenia's principal cultural, artistic, and industrial center, as well as becoming the seat of national government.
With the growth of the economy of the country, Yerevan has been undergoing major transformation as many parts of the city have been the recipient of new construction since the early 2000s, and retail outlets as much as restaurants, shops, and street cafés, which were rare during Soviet times, have multiplied. As of 2011, the population of Yerevan was 1,060,138, just over 35% of the Republic of Armenia's total population. According to the official estimate of 2016, the current population of the city is 1,073,700. Yerevan was named the 2012 World Book Capital by UNESCO. Yerevan is an associate member of Eurocities.
Of the notable landmarks of Yerevan, Erebuni Fortress is considered to be the birthplace of the city, the Katoghike Tsiranavor church is the oldest surviving church of Yerevan and Saint Gregory Cathedral is the largest Armenian cathedral in the world, Tsitsernakaberd is the official memorial to the victims of the Armenian Genocide, and several opera houses, theatres, museums, libraries, and other cultural institutions. Yerevan Opera Theatre is the main spectacle hall of the Armenian capital, the National Gallery of Armenia is the largest art museum in the Republic of Armenia and shares a building with the History Museum of Armenia, and the Matenadaran repository contains one of the largest depositories of ancient books and manuscripts in the world. The neoclassical Republic Square is the center of the city and the monumental Cascade steps lead from the city center to Victory Park, home of a Luna Park and the statue Mother Armenia overlooking Yerevan.Wikipedia

Armenia - Yerevan - Views of Yerevan from the Cafesjian Museum of Art
Yerevan (/ˌjɛrəˈvɑːn/; Armenian: Երևան, classical spelling: Երեւան [jɛɾɛˈvɑn], Is the capital and largest city of Armenia, and one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities. Situated along the Hrazdan River, Yerevan is the administrative, cultural, and industrial center of the country. It has been the capital since 1918, the thirteenth in the history of Armenia, and the seventh located in or around the Ararat plain.
The history of Yerevan dates back to the 8th century BC, with the founding of the fortress of Erebuni in 782 BC by king Argishti I at the western extreme of the Ararat plain. Erebuni was designed as a great administrative and religious centre, a fully royal capital. During the centuries long Iranian rule over Eastern Armenia that lasted from the early 16th century up to 1828, it was the center of Iran's Erivan khanate administrative division from 1736. In 1828, it became part of Imperial Russia alongside the rest of Eastern Armenia which conquered it from Iran through the Russo-Persian War between 1826 and 1828. After World War I, Yerevan became the capital of the First Republic of Armenia as thousands of survivors of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire settled in the area. The city expanded rapidly during the 20th century as Armenia became part of the Soviet Union. In a few decades, Yerevan was transformed from a provincial town within the Russian Empire, to Armenia's principal cultural, artistic, and industrial center, as well as becoming the seat of national government.

The Making Of The Adventure Armenia Collection
Adventure Armenia is a capsule of bags developed as a collaborative project including Harry Kazazian, (Owner and CEO of Exxel Outdoors LLC), Serj Tankian (renowned artist, composer, activist, and lead singer of System Of A Down), and Sako Shahinian (Creative Director for Exxel Outdoors LLC). This talented group enlisted HEX to work with the team to bring this collection to life.
The purpose of the capsule is to “shine a light” on the beauty of Armenia and support the local economy through Eco-tourism not only to the cities, but also in the smaller villages and countryside. We have selected the non-profit organization, Hike Armenia to receive proceeds from this project. The organization believes Armenia can become a premier hiking destination by developing hiking infrastructure and sharing the awesomeness that is Armenia with the world.

Tsitsernakaberd, Armenian Genocide Memorial, Yerevan, Armenia, Eurasia
Tsitsernakaberd is a memorial dedicated to the victims of the Armenian Genocide; it is located on a hill overlooking Yerevan, Armenia. Every year on April 24, hundreds of thousands of Armenians gather here to remember the victims of the 1915 Armenian Genocide that took place in the Ottoman Empire carried out by the Turkish government. The memorial sits on one of three hills along the Hrazdan River that carry the name Tsitsernakaberd, and was the site of what was once an Iron Age fortress. Most of the above ground traces at this peak have since disappeared, but upon the smaller hill are still traces of a castle. Archaeological surveys took place in 2007, and excavations uncovered a wall that is hundreds of meters long and may still be seen in many places above ground. An altar cut from stone sits in the middle of a square at the edge of one of the hills, and large stones that weigh approximately two tons are still visible that cover graves from the second millennium BC. Apartments were later built along the hills during Roman times, and were built over with other structures during medieval years. Nearby are also the remains of a very large building with a cave. Construction of the memorial began in 1966 (during Soviet times) in response to the 1965 Yerevan demonstrations during which one million people demonstrated in Yerevan for 24 hours to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Genocide. The memorial is designed by architects Arthur Tarkhanyan, Sashur Kalashyan and artist Hovhannes Khachatryan. It was completed in November 1967. The 44 meter stele symbolizes the national rebirth of Armenians. 12 slabs are positioned in a circle, representing the 12 lost provinces in present day Turkey. In the center of the circle, at a depth of 1.5 meters, there is an eternal flame dedicated to the 1.5 million Armenians killed during the Armenian Genocide. Along the park at the memorial there is a 100 meter wall with names of towns and villages where massacres are known to have taken place. On the rear side of the commemoration wall, plates have been attached to honor persons who have committed themselves to relieving the distress of the victims during and after the genocide (among others: Johannes Lepsius, Franz Werfel, Armin T. Wegner, Henry Morgenthau Sr., Fridtjof Nansen, Pope Benedict XV, Jakob Künzler, Bodil Biørn). As an act of commemoration of the victims, an alley of trees has been planted. The Armenian Genocide Museum opened its doors in 1995, concurrently commemorating the eightieth anniversary of the Genocide. The Museum structure, planned by architects S. Kalashian, Lyudmila Mkrtchyan and sculptor F. Araqelyan, has a unique design. Since opening its doors, the Museum has received many thousands of visitors including schoolchildren, college students and huge numbers of tourists from outside Armenia. The museum provides guided tours in Armenian, Russian, English, French and German. The Republic of Armenia has made visiting the Armenian Genocide Museum part of the official State protocol and many official foreign delegations have already visited the Museum. These delegations have included Pope John Paul II, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, President of France Jacques Chirac, and other well-known social and political figures. The museum contains historical documents and is open to the public for tours. The impressive two-story building is built directly into the side of a hill so as not to detract from the imposing presence of the Genocide Monument nearby. The roof of the Museum is flat and covered with concrete tiles. It overlooks the scenic Ararat Valley and majestic Mount Ararat. The first floor of the Museum is subterranean and houses the administrative, engineering and technical maintenance offices as well as Komitas Hall, which seats 170 people. Here also are situated the storage rooms for museum artifacts and scientific objects, as well as a library and a reading hall. The Museum exhibit is located on the second floor in a space just over 1,000 square meters in size. There are three main indoor exhibit halls and an outer gallery with its own hall. The Genocide Monument is designed to memorialize the innocent victims of the first Genocide of the 20th century. The Genocide Museum's mission is rooted in the fact that understanding the Armenian Genocide is an important step in preventing similar future tragedies, in keeping with the notion that those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. The current director of the Museum is Dr. Hayk Demoyan.

The first among the sights of Armenia that received particular attention in the program is the Cafesjian Center for the Arts. The program featured the Cafesjian Sculpture Garden as well as the exhibition galleries.

The Cafesjian Center for the Arts is a World-Class Museum and a Model for Museum Branding
On Friday, April 15, 2011 the Cafesjian Center for the Arts (CCA) was visited by Lyndel King, Director and Chief Curator of the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota, and Shelly Regan, President of Yamamoto Moss Mackenzie brand agency, based in Minneapolis.
The US experts were given a full tour of the Cafesjian Center for the Arts and discussed exhibitions and programming at CCA with the Center's management and staff.
I have observed the establishment of the Cafesjian Center for the Arts at various stages, and I am glad to state that it is now a world-class museum. It is a success, stated Lyndel King. In her opinion, the exhibitions, operations and programming of the Cafesjian Center for the Arts are up to the highest international standards.
The US experts had been visiting Armenia as principal participants in the seminar on museum branding, organized by the RA Ministry of Culture, ICOM National Committee of Armenia and Association of Museum Workers and Friends. A seminar workshop for Armenian students, mastering in museum studies, was given by Shelly Regan at the Special Events Auditorium of the Cafesjian Center for the Arts on April 15.
