Jerusalem Museum about Armenian History Reopens After Renovation
- mediamax.am
For decades, the mosaic was kept in a small museum near the Damascus Gate of the Old City. In 2019, the Israel Antiquities Authority and the Armenian Patriarchate moved the mosaic floor from the city bridge to the newly renovated museum.
The museum showcases Armenian art materials, from intricately carved stone crosses known as "khachkars" to iconic painted tiles and priestly robes. The museum also tells the story of Armenian survival. Armenians have survived, despite Jerusalem changing hands.
"Surviving means being invisible. We survived without people knowing what or who we were, and today we feel ready to show and tell about history and heritage, about culture, and to show you how we progressed and modernized over time," says museum tour guide, Arek Kahkedjian.
