WATERTOWN, Mass.—On Dec. 13, the holiday season was ushered in at the Armenian Library and Museum of America (ALMA) in Watertown with a sparkling party held over three levels of the building. More than 100 guests enjoyed a delicious array of festive fare while taking in the museum exhibits, new books, and other new items now being featured in the gift shop. Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian offered a short tour of the second floor while guests mingled and viewed exhibits including “Highlights from ALMA’s Collection,” the Karsh Exhibit, and “Who Are the Armenians” on the ground floor.
MFA Boston chief designer Keith Crippen, graphic designer Jennifer Munson, and Eulogio Guzman, a professor at the Museum School of Tufts University, visited the museum for the party, the first time since their transformational work in the summer of 2011. Laughing, they remembered the last party they attended at ALMA, when they were still putting the finishing touches on their work as guests began arriving for the opening of the Karsh Exhibition and newly renovated Bedoukian Galleries.
Following the cocktail portion of the evening, guests were invited to the Contemporary Gallery on the third floor for coffee and delectable desserts, with live piano music playing jazz and holiday songs.
The Armenian Library and Museum of America is located at 65 Main Street in Watertown. For directions and more information about the program and current exhibits on display, visit www.almainc.org.
