Yerevan History Museum

About

The History Museum of Armenia is the country's principal historical and archaeological museum, located on Republic Square in central Yerevan. Its permanent exhibition traces Armenian history chronologically from the Stone Age through the Early, Middle, and Late Bronze Ages, the Early Iron Age, the Urartu (Van) Kingdom, Armenia under Hellenistic and Roman influence (6th c. BC–3rd c. AD), the Early through Developed Middle Ages, and the period "along the paths to the restoration of statehood" (15th–18th centuries).
In 1935, the Government of Armenia divided the museum into several parts. The Museum of Art of the Armenian SSR was changed into the present-day National Gallery of Armenia and received 1,660 objects. The Museum of Literature has become the present-day Charents Museum of Literature and Art and received 301 objects and 1,298 manuscripts. The State Museum of Ethnography was founded in 1978 and received 1,428 objects and 584 photographs.
You can view archaeological artifacts, ancient jewelry, ceramics, and medieval objects across the chronological galleries; join a guided tour in Armenian, Western Armenian, or a foreign language; take part in educational programs; buy from the museum shop.
