Hovhannes Tumanian puppet theater to host official opening of puppet museum in 2010

Hovhannes Tumanian puppet theater will host official opening of Puppet Museum in January 2010, theater art director Ruben Babayan said.

The Museum was founded in 1975, thanks to persistence and great personal contribution of Pavlos Boloyan.

The museum was robbed and closed in 1990s. In 2002, the museum collection was restored due to financial assistance of All Armenian Fund.

The museum will feature 300 exhibits, among them – a collection of Indian puppets presented by Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
