“Special programming is also planned for International Museum Day on May 18. In keeping with this year’s theme, “Museums and Memory”, the Cafesjian Center for the Arts will present an exhibition titled “Cascade in Memory”. This exhibition lifts the curtain of the past covering the place currently known as the Cascade Complex. It will refresh people’s memory about the history of Yerevan and the Cascade Complex which has become the Cafesjian Center for the Arts”, noted Acting Executive Director of CCA Vahagn Marabyan.

Each year since 1977 the International Council of Museums organizes International Museum Day (IMD), a special moment for the global museum community - on or about May 18. Each year, the Advisory Committee of the International Council of Museums (ICOM) defines a specific theme for International Museum Day. The theme for 2011 is defined as “Museums and Memory: Objects Tell Your Story”. The weekend before the Museum Day is the traditional time for Museum Nights, when museums all over the world keep their doors open till early in the morning, offering special exhibitions and programming.
