The “Armenian Journey” exhibition’s success could only be achieved through the dedication, generosity of time and resources of many. Whilst some played a major role on the opening day ceremonies, others have worked tirelessly for weeks and months in preparation behind the scenes.

Each and every one’s contribution is of great significance. The life, spirit and the determination of the Armenian people was demonstrated not only through the artworks, but by the team effort in presenting an exhibition of such a high standard and a memorable experience for everyone.With sincere thanks to the following persons for making this exhibition a very special journey through the Armenian culture, heritage and our art.
