Tourists do not know where the museum is
After lying in a store for six years, the exhibits of Etchmiadzin's ethnographical and historical museum were finally put on display.
The museum is already housed in a new building inside the Town Hall.
"We have had few visitors since the resettlement. Our visitors are mainly locals, especially pupils who know the news address of the building" says the museum director Hasmik Hakobyan.
The museum displays the culture and life of Etchmiadzin citizens starting from the Stone Age to present days.
Some exhibits date back to the Bronze Age. Here one can see portraits, an apartment with 150-year-old couches, the pictures of the town streets and houses.
The former building located on Mashtots Avenue was closed in 2003. The museum reopened on October 8, 2009 - on the day of Etchmiadzin Town.
