This Culture House Hides Busts of Lenin and Shahumyan and a Gorgeous Fresco

Inside this cultural house, we discovered busts of Lenin and Shahumyan, along with a huge fresco created in 1965 by the Armenian artist R.S. Mnatsakanyan.

 The culture house was built in a modernist style, featuring large windows that adorn the facade and allow ample light to enter. The interior was neat and freshly renovated. One of the locals graciously gave us a tour.


The event hall


The concert hall appeared well-maintained and recently restored. Despite the modern updates, they have preserved busts of Lenin and Shahumyan, which were lying forgotten somewhere in a corner.


The fresco of R.S. Mnatsakanyan, year 1965


The highlights of our visit were two frescoes depicting girls harvesting grapes and a magnificent fresco by R.S. Mnatsakanyan, inspired by the Armenian epic poem "Daredevils of Sasoun" or "Sasuntsi Davit" (Սասունցի Դավիթ), as it is known in Armenian.
