    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Hovhannes Tumanyan's Puppet Theater Museum is
    completely ready for opening, Ruben Babayan, art director of Hovhannes
    Tumanyan's Yerevan State Puppet Theater said.

    "We're only waiting for RA Culture Minister Hasmik Poghosyan for gala
    opening of the museum," he noted in a conversation with PanARMENIAN.Net
    reporter.

    "The museum building was fully repaired, and all exhibits were
    restored. New puppets presented to the museum were preserved in good
    conditions in museum archives," Hasmik Poghosyan stated.

    Though official opening was not yet announced, the museum is
    operating, ready for visitors. The gala opening will take place in
    early February 2010.

    Puppet Museum was founded in 1975, thanks to persistence and great
    personal contribution of Pavlos Boloyan.

    The museum was robbed and closed in 1990s. In 2002, the museum
    collection was restored due to financial assistance of All Armenian
    Fund.

    The museum will feature 300 exhibits, among them - a collection of
    puppets presented by Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
