Different cultural events are periodically organized at several subway stations within the framework of the project «Art in Subway». Our main goal is to allow our dear passengers to use their valuable time in their favor even when they are several feet deep».
Among the presented stamps and souvenir sheets there is the first audio souvenir sheet of Armenia, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Arno Babajanyan.
