Interactive Museum

In 2021, an interactive museum of Charles Aznavour will be opened at the Aznavour Centre. The 10 museum halls will tell the visitors about key stages of Charles Aznavour's life: from his childhood to worldwide recognition. His personal story will be presented through an audio-guide, recorded by Aznavour. The museum halls will also be functional providing the visitors with the possibilities to record and mix songs, etc.[9]

Cultural and Educational Centre

[edit]

Aznavour Centre will also have a huge educational and cultural part focusing on three areas: cinema, music and French language.[10]

French Language Teaching

[edit]

Aznavour Centre will provide French teaching courses, where in parallel with the traditional methods, a new methodology of French language teaching will be implemented, based on the songs of Charles Aznavour. Thanks to the cooperation with the French Institute, a rich media library will be created in the centre.
