In addition, the Deputy Minister of Culture drew attention to the fact that the museum staff are not able to cope with the large influx of visitors.

“The museums have reached agreement student volunteers to help museum staff to receive visitors,” she added.

May 18 marks the International Day of Museums, and on May 17 Armenia for the tenth time will join the European Night of Museums.
