Unveiling the Hanging Gardens of Armenia - NYTimes.com
Fascinating article about Armenia’s so-ugly-it’s-awesome mammoth of a vanity project: their new national museum.
“Imagine an Art Deco version of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon stretching nearly the height of the Empire State Building, its decorations coded with Armenian symbolism.
Did I mention the artificial waterfalls?”
Great snapshot of Armenia’s desperate, wallowing struggle to advance both economy and cultural standing.
