Zhanna Aghamiryan in Armenian: Ժաննա Աղամիրյան (1936 -1975[1]) was an Armenian artist, art critic, teacher, founder and the first director of Yerevan Children's Gallery, the world (and the Soviet Union's) first children's art museum.[2][3] Her work at the museum established an artistic education for many artists, such as Sergey Rubenyan.[4][5] The gallery was founded in 1970 by Aghamiryan and her husband Henrik Igityan; in 1978 it was renamed the Children's Art Museum.[2] This later became part of the Centre for Aesthetic Education.[4] She died in a plane crash.[6]
