The sculpture of the Anahit goddess kept in the British Museum will be exhibited in the History Museum of Armenia. The government allocated 15.6 million drams to MESCS. Minister Zhanna Andreasyan said that the money is allocated for the popularization of the temporary exhibition "Mother Deity: From Anahit to Mariam.” It is expected that the museum will have at least 300,000 visitors during the six months of the exhibition, and as a result of popularization, 800,000-1,000,000 people will be informed about the exhibition.
