The memory of the patriotic Armenian will always remain bright

06/11/2013

On the day of its opening on April 3 2007 the Yerevan History Museum got a valuable donation from the Iranian Armenian donator Husik Budaghyan.

The donation was nacre-covered national musical instruments which today are displayed on permanent exhibition and the visitors admire their beauty and the art of manufacture.

From that day on H. Budaghyan was one of the best friends of the museum.

We are sorry to inform that today H. Budaghyan is not with us anymore, but the valuable samples donated by him will always keep the bright memory of the Armenian patriot.
