Tapan correspondent, at present 110 state and non-state museums,
house-museums, and reserve-museums function in Armenia, 60 out of
which are under state care and 30 under care of communities. The
rest museums work under the patronage of individual citizens or
organizations. Though museums have had many obstacles in the recent
years, they continued working. Some museums have been closed, but
new ones have been opened instead.

occasion of the International Day of Museums, the most interesting
of which is the Museum Night action announced on May 17.
