A museum of Armenian writer William Saroyan may open in Fresno.
Intellectual Renaissance Foundation, based in Yerevan, bought Saroyan’s house in central Fresno last year with plans to turn it into a museum, Fresno Bee reported.
The group is working on innovative plans for the 1,228-square-foot house, a spokeswoman told Fresno Bee by email. That includes recreating the inside of the house, she said.
Saroyan, a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, lived in this house last 17 years of his life.
The foundation hopes to open the museum in 2017.
