cub-ar suggests a few links to help you explore Armenian culture and decorating:
The Armenian National Gallery is the great art museum where you'll find a remarkable collection of Armenian and foreign works: paintings, sculpture, engravings and religious art from the 7th to the 20th centuries. (Over 300 works on-line.) http://www.gallery.am/
The Matenadaran is the manuscript museum. Some 17,000 books and manuscripts are conserved there, though only 1% are publicly exhibited. The oldest manuscript dates from the 6th century; the first printed pages in Armenian (printed in Venice) date from 1512. The smallest volume weighs less than an ounce and the heaviest over 60 pounds (the pages are calf skin). http://www.matenadaran.am/fr
Lucine Hovanissian is a talented Armenian singer who performs Armenian religious song, some going back to the 7th century. (Samples are available on her website) http://www.lucinehovanissian.am/
