Home - Muscari

Muscari’s vocation is to support artisanal, artistic and cultural projects that promote Armenian expertise, and to spread these throughout the world.

To meet social and economic challenges, today more than ever the Armenian people need energy within our own borders and beyond to develop and diffuse our traditions and our innovations, our appreciation for the past and our openness towards the future.

The Armenian muscari flower (Muscari armeniacum) is a small plant with blue flowers that grows between rocks and signals the beginning of spring. For us, it symbolises the arrival of brighter days, the birth of major projects such as Gumri ceramics and active support for committed artists.

ARTISANAL PROJECTS

Rehabilitate traditional skills, from ceramics to embroidery, and promote job-creating trades.

ARTISTIC PROJECTS

Support artists in all their diversity (photographers, painters, writers, musicians…) on behalf of an identity to share and values to promote.

CULTURAL PROJECTS

Contribute to the visibility of French-Armenian culture, to the publishing of a French-Armenian mathematics dictionary, to supporting French language and culture in Armenia…

Since Muscari’s creation in 2016, in Lyon by Manual Manoug Pamokdjian as a non-profit association, it has benefited from the support of several institutions such as the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, the Greater Lyon Area, the City of Lyon and the Bullukian Foundation.
