Memory of the past (from 12pm till midnight)
Free admission, tour and performance.
Sergey Merkourov was born on 7th November 1881 in Alexandrapole (currently Gumri). In 1902 he began a student of the University of Zurich, in philosophy department. 1902 is a turning point regarding his professional career. He was trained by the sculptor Adolf Mayer. Through the sculptor advices, he decided to essentially devote himself to art. In 1903, he attends the Art Academy of Munich. His journeys in Italy contributed to his personal fulfillment. From 1905 to 1907 Merkourov lived and worked in Paris. At the same time, he admired the art and the ideas of the sculptor Auguste Rodin, whose we can note he got influenced on his proper works.
Beyond the monumental works, he realized funeral masks of more than 300 influential men. His first work in this field was for the funeral mask of Khrimyan Haïrik, in 1907 (Catholic Armenian). Merkourov died on in 1952.
Each year we take part in the International Museums Day and every time with different ideas. This year, on the 14th of May, we will present to the visitors all the funeral masks that we have from the Greco-armenian sculptor Sergey Mekourov. We will also have a show performed by disabled people.

The Museum of Monarchy, the Tower of Trongsa
International Museum Day (18 May, 2011)
Conference, educational programme, participation in the event
The Museum of Monarchy is a young institution established in the year 2008 and consisting of 14 staff and 11 galleries. Attending the International Museum Day conference would enhance the knowledge of the staff and museum functioning. Such international activity will be very useful for a small art museum in a less developed country such as Bhutan. The museum staff has never participated to such an event and it would be quite interesting and knowledge-focused to attend it.

Site of Kamalolmolk
Educational programme
A cursory glance at the history of art reveals that social, political and economic conditions have always played a major role in the emergence of new artistic trends and styles.
The modern art movement in Iran had its genesis in the late 1940s and early 1950s. This was the period after the death of famous Persian painter, Kamal-ol-molk (1852–1940) and thus symbolically the end of a rigid adherence to academic painting.

Body Gestures and campo 82133 N - Shay Frisch Peri (10:00-14:00)
Free-entry
Body gestures constitute a highly expressive means of communication, which includes a wide range of both conspicuous and inconspicuous movements. This language functions as a parallel or alternative to the use of words; at time it completes and underscores a verbal message, while in other instances it endows it with a different, contradictory, or surprising meaning, or replaces words altogether. The works featured in the exhibition Body Gestures examine the logic, meaning, and impact of this body language in a range of different ways.
Participating artists: William Cobbing, Pierre Coulibeuf, Thomas Hirschhorn, Lea Golda Holterman, Nadav Kander, Tali Keren, Galia Uri, Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook, Hadas Reshef, Shachaf Yaron.
Campo 82133 N - Shay Frisch Peri
The Museum's main gallery features Shay Frisch Peri's installation campo 82133 N, which includes two wall works and a floor work. These works are composed of 82,133 black electric adaptors, which are plaited together into basic geometric shapes - a rectangle, square and circle. These three electric circuits emit a pale light, and their embroidered surfaces have an austere and meticulous quality.

"Live Music at the Museum"
Cultural and Artistic Evening
In partnership with the Samarkand State Museums and the City Department for Cultural Affairs, on 9th April we are planning to start a cycle of events to celebrate the International Museum Day 2011. During the "Live Music at the Museum" Cultural and Artistic Evening we'll introduce "Charming Hostess" band from the USA. Our American guests, composer and vocalist Jewlia Eisenberg and multi-wind instrumentalist Jason Ditzian will present their innovative historical-cultural and musical project - The Bowls Project - inspired by Babylonian amulets. "Charming Hostess" will be joined on stage by the Samarkand musicians playing Uzbek national instruments. The event will take place in the old and beautifully decorated reception hall of the Samarkand Museum for Regional Studies. The activists of Samarkand Peace Museum will give to all participants multicoloured paper cranes - an international symbol of peace, friendship and good will.
