On Monday, 29th January 2018, at Hamazkayin Association’s invitation, historian Claude Mutafian presented a program for the reconstruction of the Armenian Patriarchate's Museum in Jerusalem.
Mutafian said there are a lot of treasures that are not ever presented to the public and the tourists. They are not kept in good conditions either. These treasures are valuables pieces. The rugs, historical decrees, Toros Roslin’s miniature paintings, Kütahya’s faience remain unexposed.
At current Patriarch Arch. Nourhan Manoogian’s request, these items will be listed and placed in the Museum for permanent display and under specific conditions of storage.
Historian Harutyun Gevorgyan and Claude Mutafian from France and Harout Bezjian from Lebanon have undertaken this enormous work. The work will last for about two years.
Mutafyan's lecture was so interesting that it entailed a lot of questions.
