Unique Exhibits from Berlin’s Museum Island to Be Presented at the History Museum of Armenia

ArmInfo. Unique exhibits from Berlin’s Museum Island will be presented at the History Museum of Armenia.

As reported by the press service of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of Armenia (MoESCS), the exhibition entitled <Myths, Cults and Cosmology: Berlin’s Museum Island at the History Museum of Armenia> will open on September 22 on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Armenia and the 200th anniversary of Berlin’s Museum Island. The exhibition will serve as a significant platform for cultural dialogue, institutional memory and the reinterpretation of the collections of two important museum centers. More than 50 unique exhibits from six museums on Berlin’s Museum Island will be presented as part of the exhibition—they span a broad chronological period, from the Ancient World to the Middle Ages and the Modern Era. Key exhibits include bronze models of the <Solar System> dating from the 12th–11th centuries BC and belonging to the Early Iron Age.

The exhibition is being held in cooperation between the History Museum of Armenia and the Museum of Prehistory and Early History on Berlin’s Museum Island, with financial support from the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of Armenia and the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Armenia, and will run until March 21, 2027.

According to the MoESCS statement, in turn, the History Museum of Armenia will present an exhibition on Berlin’s Museum Island.

German Ambassador to Armenia Claudia Busch underscored the importance of cooperation between Berlin’s renowned museums and the History Museum of Armenia.

According to her, the exhibition presents humanity’s centuries-old attempts to learn about and understand the world, countries and one another—from the Bronze Age to the 20th century—while also revealing common features among different countries, cultures and eras. She also noted that some exhibits from the German collection are being displayed outside Germany for the first time.

In Claudia Busch’s assessment, the exhibition is not only of significant scientific and cultural importance, but also testifies to the high level of Armenian­German relations and contemporary museum cooperation.

<This exhibition is part of our bilateral strategic partnership aimed at deepening cooperation in various fields, including culture, education and academic cooperation, promoting cultural exchanges and strengthening mutual understanding>, Busch said.
