A museum named after Arshile Gorky – a famous Armenian-American artist
and a genocide survivor – will open up to the public in Etchmiadzin
in September.

Shahen Khachatryan, the Director of the museum, told Tert.am that
the museum is currently under reconstruction.

Presently the museum hosts more than 50 pieces of Gorky’s original
works.

"Arshile Gorky bequeathed his canvases to his sister Varduhi who handed
them to the Holy Etchmiadzin after Gorky’s death," said Khachatryan.
