PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Armenian community is working toward a new project that will leave a lasting legacy of Armenian-Americans for generations to come — an outdoor gallery called the Armenian Heritage Walk outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art. With a planned unveiling of April 2026, the stunning walkway will feature public art and gardens celebrating the Armenian story and advancing cultural awareness in a renowned urban art and horticultural region.
The walk will flank the long-standing statue called “Young Meher,” a legendary figure symbolizing the indomitable spirit of the Armenian people. While the walk will pay tribute to the unique Armenian identity, it will simultaneously celebrate Philadelphia’s spirit of diversity. When visitors step onto the walk, they will discover the incredible story of a people who, exiled in genocide, found a new home in Philadelphia and helped shape it into the great city it is today.
