Armenia Immortal
Symbolic of Mount Ararat and standing proudly in front of the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia is this sculpture entitled Armenia Immortal by Armenian artist Levon Tokmajyan and his son Hayk. I did not realize it was such a prominent community, yet there are approximately 75,000 Armenian-Canadians across the country. The Embassy here in Ottawa serves, in part, to improve international relations through events, to share their ancient culture + recent history, and to handle administration/Consular paperwork....... all from behind the façade of this stunning Spanish Colonial Revival mansion, circa 1908. If you go here, you can take a virtual tour of the mansion and see just how striking the interior is for yourself!
