The Moscow State Historical Museum, located at Red Square, will open an exhibition called “Armenia: The Legend of Goy”, which will showcase over 160 samples of items of the Museum of History of Armenia, the Museum of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin and the Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts (Matenadaran), as posted on the website of the Moscow State Historical Museum, reports Armradio.am.
The Museum of History of Armenia will present the samples that have been found in the territory of Armenia and encompass the history of Armenia starting from ancient times and leading up to the 19thcentury. The administration of the Museum states that the exhibition will also showcase quite interesting samples from the Hellenic era in the history of Armenia, one of which is also a marble statue of Aphrodite.
The samples of artistic and historical value kept at the Museum of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin will present Armenia as the first country to declare Christianity as a state religion. In this sense, the State Historical Museum of Russia is especially setting aside the Cross that sums up the relics of Saint George.
The State Historical Museum will also showcase the samples of the Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts (Matenadaran).
The exhibition will be opened on March 10. The Presidents of Armenia and Russia are likely to attend the opening ceremony.
