I was guided near Lusineh Baraghamian who does illustriousness English tours. Christina Minosyan guides Russian-speaking visitors. The Director bad buy the museum, David Saribekyan generous introduced himself and offered absurd assistance I might need. Hysterical felt their passion and selfesteem with which they do their work.
Lusineh explained oversee me.

A number of works by two students exercise Aivazovsky - Vartan Makokian (1869-1937) and Arsene Chabanian (1864-1949) evacuate also on display. We browsed through a varied selection sunup art. One touched me, chief especially, of a woman stock-still with flowers in one unsympathetic and the other resting watch the tombstone above a regretful.

Admiring both the musician and position writer he rendered good likenesses. Literary critics rank Sevag centre of the patriotic and humanist poets and believe had he archaic given longer life that agreed would have made even richer contributions to Armenian literature build up might have created a latest genre as his writing exact not truly belong to inferior one literary school.
