Vladimir Musaelyan’s life and work are inseparable from the history of the country and the legendary state news agency TASS.

The exhibition brings together objects that best tell his story, of a photographer and a citizen: there are photographs, documentary footage, some personal items, and parts of the interior. All placed in a small, intimate space — an office where every visitor can imagine being a guest of Musaelyan.

The lighting scenarios change gradually throughout the visit, syncing with the exhibition guide’s narrative and creating the feeling of a personal encounter with Musaelyan, a moment of connection and a deep dive into someone else’s life and story.
