Anush Nikoghosyan, the head of the National Gallery’s Public Relations Department, told Panorama.am the exhibition will definitely be extended, but she could not unveil any specific timeframes.

“Director of the National Gallery Arman Tsaturyan has reached an agreement with the owner of the collection. The exhibition will definitely be extended,” she said.

Nikoghosyan also informed that the exhibition tickets purchased online for the period when the gallery is closed will not be considered invalid. After the gallery reopens people having such tickets can go to the exhibition.

A total of 260 works by the renowned Spanish artists from the collection of Alexander Shadrin are on display at the gallery.
