Charles Aznavour Museum

About

The Aznavour Center is an interactive museum and cultural center on the upper part of Cascade Hill in Yerevan, a project Charles Aznavour personally worked on during the last two years of his life. The building was inaugurated in 2011 (with Nicolas Sarkozy and then-President Serzh Sargsyan present), and the museum's full interactive exhibition — 10 halls tracing Aznavour's life from family history to world fame, presented via an audio guide narrated in his own voice — was completed later. Exhibits include his CDs, books, awards, and posters, and the building also hosts concerts, exhibitions, and conferences, plus an educational program teaching film, music, and French (partly through the lyrics of Aznavour's songs).
What you can do there: tour the 10 exhibition halls with an audio guide, see personal memorabilia (awards, posters, recordings), attend concerts/exhibitions/conferences when scheduled, take French-language or music/film classes.
