Galents, Head of the Modern Art Department of the Armenia's Ministry
of Culture Sona Harutyunyan said at a press conference today.
The construction of the museum was conducted from 2002-2009 on the
basis of the house-studio the Galents lived and created their pieces.

of both Harutyun and Armine will be exhibited in the two-floor museum.
