    YEREVAN, MAY 16, NOYAN TAPAN. The International Day of Museums will
    be marked on May 18 in Armenia. Entrance to all museums of Yerevan
    and regions will be free for visitors on that day.

    As Anahit Galstian, the head of the Museums and Libraries Department
    of the RA Ministry of Culture, said in her interview to Noyan
    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.

    According to A. Galstian, Armenia has joined three actions on the
    occasion of the International Day of Museums, the most interesting
    of which is the Museum Night action announced on May 17.

    The International Day of Museums has been marked in Armenia since 1978.
