"ARARAT Museum has always emphasized various formats of inter-museum collaborations. Over the years, we have held joint exhibitions with Saryan House Museum, Erebuni Historical and Cultural Reserve-Museum, Russian Art Museum, and others. This time, we were interested in bringing the traditional format of inter-museum cooperation to a new dimension, allowing Kapan's audience to experience both the rare collection of violins and the values ARARAT Museum cherishes," noted Arno Tadevosyan, Manager of the ARARAT Museum.
