The History Museum will present ten unique examples of Urartian art, which, according to the British Museum specialists and Gareth Brereton, the coordinator of the exhibition, are of particular importance for their exposition as an exceptional and valuable testimony in the context of art and culture of the states in the region at that period: Assyria, Western Iran and the Hittite states.

The participation of the museum in this exhibition is an exceptional opportunity of appraising and popularizing Armenia and the Armenian cultural heritage at the British Museum of London, one of the most prestigious platforms in the world.
