Please make a note in site, about museum is totally closed. Thank you 🙏
Very Impressive building but inside there are not many things to see... Unless you are specialised in ancient transcripts... Entrance fee is so small so in case you don't have anything else to do is a nice walk...
Lovely art gallery featuring unique Russian paintings and sculptures of the 18th, 19th, and early 20th century. I recommend asking for a guide, because the staff are kind, welcoming, and have a great deal of knowledge and cultural enrichment to contribute to your viewing experience.
It has a great collection of manuscripts on display. However it's a shame that it doesn't let people take photos or videos. And the fit shop section was closed during our visit on a Friday early afternoon and we couldn't buy anything though we wanted to. There were many people working though.
Very interesting. Don't miss the micro sculpture of Ghazarians !
Recommended! What history. Some books were 1,000 years older than I am. They let you take pictures with a phone camera, no flash, without buying the photography pass. They have free lockers for backpacks, clean bathrooms, and plenty of places to sit and relax between admiring the books.
A non English speaking guide escorted us through the 4 rooms we were allowed to see (in the order dictated by her) and stopped us from going into the wood crafts room as they were just starting some work in there.
If they knew this in advance she should have taken us to that room first. Before the work started.
Exhibits were pretty but labelled Silver Plate, Copper Tray etc.
I could work that out for myself. Needs more meaningful captions.

Really nice museum with lot of beautiful Armemian artisan handicraft
Գրականության և արվեստի թանգարանը հայոց դարավոր մշակույթի մի ընդգրկուն կտավ է։ Մեր տագնապալի օրերին պետք է այցելել թանգարաններ ու վերագտնել մեր մեջի հայի լավագույն որակները
Besides the landmark facade of the Art Centre, the exhibits inside were definitely worth a visit to appreciate. The art pieces were avant garde and fascinating. In addition, the panoramic view of the surrounding area on the top level was terrific. There was no entry fee!
Do not miss this museum.
Last century's russian art (period before the revolution of 1917). Excellent private collection of the artworks.
Though the displays could need much more context, the items here are very impressive and definitely worth seeing if you like folk art.
Beautiful art awaits you inside! It is easy to move around and enjoy art pieces. You'll have an artistic journey between floors.
Love Cafesjian Center for the Arts. They host fantastic events, have a wonderful museum store with beautiful artwork, have well-known artists’ works presented to the public and have converted Cascade Complex to a museum in the open air. Their exhibition halls and music hall are stunning and a must see. I was at their music hall earlier for Vardan Ovsepian’s concert and absolutely loved it. The background of the stage is made of glass and opens a gorgeous view of the city.
Great exhibition, must see when visiting Yerevan.
a wonderful collection of early works by talented artists. I recommend to visit. excellent work Grabar. Silver is one of my favorites. located in a historical building, the staff is very nice!
it has very beautiful artworks
One of the best thing in Yerevan to visit. Loved this place. You can enjoy traditional music in the night. The place is full on entertaining. You will get some peace and city view from the top of Cafesjian.
A brilliant gallery of modern art and design like no other. Exquisite views from every level and surrounded by sophisticated cafes and restaurants. A delight.
I really like Charents museum a lot. Great place and great stuff.. I highly recommend 🤗
Fabulous place amazing artworks and open to public with free of charge. On the ground floor you can find the store to buys some exclusive items. The prices are very good and affordable. Would suggest this place for leisure and art collectivists
Ужасные впечатления. Я была в 15 странах. Национальный музей Армении - самый худший из всех. Начнём с того, что почти весь музей был закрыт на ремонт и нигде об этом не было сказано. Ни на сайте, ни, элементарно, объявлением на двери. Ну хорошо, мы всё равно пошли (вход 1000 драм - недорого). Нам сказали «работает 4 экспозиции, на 1, 2 и 3 этажах». По факту: на 3 этаже один небольшой зал, где представлены древние находки (копья, наконечники, камни и тд) - то, что есть вообще в каждом Национальном музее любой страны, это неинтересно. На 2 этаже висели только карты, штук 10-15. На 1 этаже есть маленький зал, который посвящен открытию музея - просто висят фотографии на стене музея и его основателей.
В музее нет табличек на русском языке - только армянский и английский. Думали взять гида, но экскурсия была только в 3 часа (мы пришли в 11), а отдельно от экскурсии гида в Национальном музее Армении, видимо, брать нельзя…
И вишенка на торте - через минут 20, как мы зашли, отрубили свет в музее… банально не было ничего видно, только если фонариком с телефона светить.
Еще был открыт зал с картинной галереей (нужен отдельный билет), но без света картины не посмотришь.
Кошмар.
Пробыли в музее от силы полчаса, ушли в ужасном настроении.

Very interesting. Lady expert spoke on their craft tradition. Worth seeing.
Amazing collection of russian art including sculpture, graphics and paintings. Real cultural gem stone survived during turmoils and ordeals Armenia had overcame since early 90th. Place to visit in Yerevan for sure.
Beautiful place in Yerevan centre with a wide range of sculptures from the bottom to the top.
Don’t be like me and take the escalators going up then go down the stairs… I went up the stairs and was knackered!
You get a great view of the city and the Mount Ararat chain in the background.

Utterly fantastic modern art display and sculpture. Truly amazing it’s free. Loved to wander around at my own pace. Not very crowded when I went.
Nice museum to see Armenian folk art. Made by different contemporary artists these pieces represent how people used to live. If you take a guided tour you can also discover the meaning of each ornament and each piece, that will help you to discover armenian culture better.
Eher langweilig und nichts besonderes
Very cheap to visit. Has a variety of art, upstairs and downstairs. Only stairs to the top. Beautiful art and the gift shop had reasonable prices. They also have a tour guide option. Loved it!
You will enjoy the unique Armenia ancient patterns on traditional equipment. However, there is not enough description which tells history or story behind.
Very interesting and unique place. Just go for yourself.
The Museum of Russian Art (the collection of Professor A.Abramyan) in Yerevan, the capital of the Republic of Armenia, is based on the personal collection of Professor Aram Y. Abramyan, whose greatest patriotism was this priceless gift to his historical homeland - Armenia.

I had a good time there and that’s mostly because I saw many old and extremely beautiful works of art from my country, Iran. Which was a surprise because I was there to see Armenian art!
Small but really nice museum exhibiting some folk art in wood, beautifully carved, fabrics and metals. Each item is described in multiple languages including english. A real treat highly recommend.
Relatively small but nice museum. With no knowledge of Russian painters I enjoyed the variety of painting styles/techniques exhibited. Certainly worth visiting.
Rich collection of manuscripts, national musical instruments, traditional garments.
Pleasant atmosphere!!!
