“The Queen of Armenian Art…”

In July 2025, the Alexander Tamanyan National Museum-Institute of Architecture opened an exhibition entitled “The Queen of Armenian Art,” dedicated to the 115th anniversary of the birth of the prominent Armenian architect and Honored Artist of the Armenian SSR, Alexander Arami Sahinyan. At the opening ceremony, welcoming remarks were delivered by Deputy Chair of the Urban Development Committee of the Republic of Armenia, Nune Petrosyan; Director of the Museum-Institute, Zaruhie Hayrapetyan; architect Alexander Sahinyan’s daughter, Gohar Sahinyan; and Head of the Research Department of the Museum-Institute, Ashot Grigoryan. Alexander Arami Sahinyan is one of the prominent Armenian architects who played a key and influential role in the history of Armenian architecture. The exhibition marks the beginning of the promotion of the distinguished architect’s patriotic and heritage-preserving activity, aiming to re-evaluate the rich scholarly legacy Alexander Sahinyan has left to us.
