Stepan Gishyan charity foundation donates 20 new audio guides to Vanadzor Museum of Fine Arts

YEREVAN, July 1. /ARKA/. The Vanadzor Museum of Fine Arts has received 20 new audio guides with the assistance of Stepan Gishyan Charitable Foundation, the press service of Acba bank reported.

It said before that, in case of a large influx of tourists, it was necessary to make an appointment in advance, since the museum had only one foreign language guide.

Now there is no need to make arrangements in advance: all information about the museum’s exhibits has been pre-processed, translated and recorded on audio guides in Armenian, English, French and Russian.

“The use of audio guides is quite common in museums and this allows visitors to take a tour of the museum on their own, which increases their attractiveness. There are many visitors to the museum and often there are not enough guides to provide information about a particular painting. In such cases, audio guides come to the rescue. I am glad that audio guides have also begun to be used in the regions,” said Anna Gishyan, director of the Stepan Gishyan Charitable Foundation.

The deputy director of the Vanadzor Museum of Fine Arts Tatevik Baghramyan said this was a good opportunity, because foreign language tours had to be arranged in advance.

“Now we will not have a problem with this program also for individual tourists. And most importantly, our visitors, together with the audio guide, determine their own route through the museum,” she said.

The Stepan Gishyan Charitable Foundation was established jointly by Acba bank, French Credit Agricole, the National Federation of Credit Agricole and the family of Gishyan.

The Foundation’s programs are aimed at strengthening the Armenian-French relations, improving the socio-economic, scientific-educational, cultural and health systems of Armenia.
