Museum of Sergei Paradjanov

Family Trip to Armenia, August 2009.
Museum of Sergei Paradjanov
The Sergei Paradjanov Museum was founded by government of the Republic of Armenia in 1988 and consisted of two building. The first is the museum and the second Paradjaov's home. Museum's construction was delayed due to the catastrophic earthquake in 1988 and it only opened in 1991.

Paradjanov's contribution to the art of cinema is first and foremost his original poetic film-language, highly valued by his contemporaries.

Outside of his films, Paradjanov's art work - assemblages, flat and three-dimensional collages, drawings, dolls and film sketches were mostly created during his 5 year imprisonment and 15 year unemployment and are his distinctive reaction to life and events around him, his plastic perception of the world. Paradjanov's work has not direct analogies in the world of art and amazes with its fantasy, wit and artistry. The use of various material and object imparts to it a special charm and brilliance.
