The Armenian American Museum will be built in the heart of Southern California and serve as an arts and cultural destination for local patrons and visitors from around the world.
The City of Glendale, home to one of the largest Armenian diaspora communities, has dedicated premier land for the historic project in downtown Central Park.
The museum will neighbor the Downtown Central Library, Museum of Neon Art (MONA), and The Americana at Brand.
Ground Lease Agreement
In August 2018, the Glendale City Council approved the Armenian American Museum’s $1-per-year Ground Lease Agreement, officially marking Central Park as the future site of the cultural and educational center.
The initial term of the Ground Lease Agreement will be 55 years with options to extend the lease term for four 10-year periods totaling 95 years.
