The Children's Art Museum of Henrik Igityan National Centre for Aesthetics (address: 6 Sayat-Nova), operating under the ESCS Ministry, has reopened.

ESCS Minister Zhanna Andreasyan, ambassadors, and artists attended the opening ceremony.

After a long hiatus, the museum has returned to its historic premises, renovated, technically upgraded, and with enhanced content capabilities.

Highlighting the reopening of the Children's Art Museum, ESCS Minister Zhanna Andreasyan emphasized that the advancement of children's art is a key priority of state policy, since gifted children stand out in such an environment. “Our task is to work with them appropriately and at the right time. For this reason, art is also a primary direction in school education, since by fostering creativity, a person becomes more competitive in today's world. Every young visitor to the museum will start to think about art and get inspired by it.

The authors of the paintings exhibited in these galleries are already renowned artists, which means that they started their journey right here,” the Minister stated, noting that the museum is also of paramount significance for adults, since such environments help strengthen the role of culture in our lives and make it more accessible.

The museum features the finest works of the students of the National Centre for Aesthetics, projects from various years, as well as the museum's “gold fund”.

The museum will also function as a creative platform: there will be master classes, workshops, educational and cultural events for all age groups. The museum's first exhibition is dedicated to the epic poem “Daredevils of Sassoun” (Sasna Tsrer), presented with a multi-genre artistic approach.

The newly opened museum also houses a library-bookstore.

The Children's Art Museum was reopened with the support of the “Hovnanian” Family Foundation and the grant provided within the framework of the Artbox HUB program.
