Stepan Zoryan’s house-museum has something new

From now on, the visitors of Stepan Zoryan’s House-Museum can watch the “Lonely Tree” animation using an optical tag (QR code).

With the ARLOOPA app, the painting “The Lonely Tree” was brought to life, becoming a living story. Using modern technology, the lines of Kojoyan’s canvas begin to move, the tree breathes, creating a living dialogue between the past and the future.


The lonely tree had great advice for Zoryan. “Perhaps it is possible to compare our people as well – No matter how difficult their conditions are, they always strive upwards, towards light, towards freedom…

“The picture still decorates my room,” Zoryan writes.


Today, the house-museum speaks to the past, preserves the present, and builds the culture of the future.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
