The Carpet Collection of the Mother See

For centuries, carpets have been kept in the treasury of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin as cultural treasures. These carpets are not simply decorative objects, but eloquent witnesses of a culture. The collection of the Mother See was formed not as a result of planned collection, but as a result of time, donations and historical upheavals. Under the care of His Holiness Karekin II, Catholicos of All Armenians, the collection is currently being supplemented with the aim of becoming a complete material for a carpet museum in the future.
