Visitors to the intimate Watertown museum often ask whether it has
paintings of Jack Kevorkian, known as Dr. Death, Boston.com informs
quoting The Boston Globe.

The Armenian Library and Museum of America has a rich collection of
illuminated manuscripts and a catalog of portrait photographs of some
of the 20th century's leading figures, but the grisly paintings by Dr.
Death himself, assisted-suicide advocate Dr. Jack Kevorkian, continue
to be in demand.

The museum is going to display its Kevorkian paintings, but it has not
been fixed exactly when. At least one of them, `1915 Genocide 1945,'
will be displayed next April, when the museum commemorates the
Armenian Genocide. That painting, which links the killing of 1.5
million Armenians by the Ottoman Turkish Empire during and after World
War I, and the 6 million xxxs killed by Nazi Germany during World War
II, was the most important piece for the museum to keep.
