The belfry and the winged bulls of the Memorial Complex
On going up the staircase which is flanked by stylized figures of winged bulls, one passes a belfry, stone eagles (on pedestals) which seem to have frozen into a guard of honour, and through the archway to a memorial wall where the sequence ends. From here one enters a wide avenue. Its perspective is obscured by a huge rectangular building built in bright red tufa stone quarried in the Oktembryan area: the Armenian Museum of Ethnography which, in the few years of its existence, has become famous as one of the best museums of its kind, not just in the Soviet Union but also abroad.
