The exhibit explores the formation, training, military action, and postwar activities of this all-volunteer force from World War I through photographs and narratives. The exhibit's appearance at the Central Library is generously sponsored by Ed Aghjayan, former Deputy City Manager of Pasadena, and Bill Paparian, former Mayor of Pasadena. Visitors can see the exhibit Monday through Thursday from 9 am to 9 pm; Friday and Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm; and Sunday from 1 to 5 pm. Pasadena Central Library is located at 285 East Walnut Street Pasadena, CA 91101. ALMA commissioned this traveling exhibit in response to tremendous interest from the Armenian and Veteran communities. The exhibit tells the story of the brave and selfless young men who fought with the Allies to victory, and later risked all in defense of Armenian human rights. "Le'gion Arme'nienne" was curated by Ardemis Matteosian in close collaboration with ALMA Board Members Arakel Almasian and Dr. Barbara Merguerian. It premiered at Northbridge Town Hall in Whitinsville, MA in September and then traveled to the California State University in Fresno before arriving at the Pasadena Central Library, Asbarez.com reported.
