The Armenian Museum, Jerusalem Old City
Channel: Daniel Rosehill
Date: 2022-12-27

Last month, a new museum opened up in the Armenian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem recounting the story of the Armenian community in the city, which has had a continued presence here since the 4th century CE.

The Edward and Helen Mardigian Armenian Museum is spread over two floors in the beautiful Armenian Convent in the Old City. The bottom floor explains how the Armenian Community ensured their survival by navigating the twisty contours of the geopolitics of the old city while the top floor contains exhibits - including original murals - telling the sorry story of the Armenian Genocide and how a second wave of Armenians came to Jerusalem in its wake.
