The building is beautiful, huge, impressive in power. The staff is smiling, everything was explained, but even those who walk poorly were not allowed to enter the elevator to the top - they say for the staff.
I liked the history Museum, but it's too small for our curiosity.
The National Gallery of Art is also here. Part of the building's floors are closed. But we were lucky to get to the exhibition of Aivazovsky's works. It is said that it is often closed. The exhibition is great. Some of the works have been wanting to see for a very long time, they were glad that they were being exhibited. It's also great that there is an interactive monitor on the geography of the artist's work.
Besides this exhibition, there were others that did not make much impression: the French interior and ancient Armenian art. There are few exhibition copies. Eroticism in the works of Armenian graphic artists was also not particularly impressive. There was a feeling of the graduation works of the art school: "paint in the style of Egon Schiele, Picasso, Tseretelli and Dali." Few people were interested. There was little original and penetrating to the soul.
The museum stands at the head of Republic Square, from the outside it is a beautiful building in the mature style of Yerevan. Inside there are several floors of history, many halls that tell about the history of Armenia, culture, there are halls with the history of carpets, church paintings, Aivazovsky hall and much more, it will be interesting for both museum lovers and not so much because the expositions are not very voluminous
a must-visit. A modern museum, a rich exposition, everything is well served, you perfectly understand what happened and how it was.The air conditioner is working, the caretakers are not evil, they can politely explain, but if you try to break the rules, they will also politely stop)
There was a tour from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages. Like it. The guide is very attentive. It is very interesting and informative. The expositions are impressive.
I advise you to visit.
I can't raise my hand to give such a good museum a low score, but I can't leave a review. I ask the museum management to pay attention to the work of the tour guide Lucine. She rolls her eyes at questions and answers rudely. She chooses among the group of tourists she likes, and does not pay attention to the rest of the group. Our questions with the child annoy her, she answers condescendingly. I ruined the whole impression of the visit. And, please, give Lusine a reference book, let him find out about the origin of the Aramaic language, it's a shame not to know such banal things, and also mislead people. Aramaic is the language of Christ, Lusine jan, study the material and learn to treat visitors with respect.
Great museum! I recommend you to visit.
Be sure to take a tour in Russian. All information about the exhibits is in Armenian and English.
I thank our guide Anna. Introduced me to the museum. Interesting information presented. Answered questions. It was fun 🙂
Thanks to the museum staff for organizing the space so well and preparing the exhibits. 👍🏻
I visited this museum for the first time last year, there was no free guide, information about the exhibits is in English and Armenian. This year we came to 12 (a group gathers every 2 hours). My son and I were alone, no one joined us, so it turned out to be an individual tour at the price of a group one. It cost 5,000 drams plus a ticket for 2500 drams each. We went around the museum in an hour, liked it, I recommend it to all guests of Armenia.
A museum is like a museum. Historical. But without any originality or something. Classic, that's the right word for it. I still love a museum with a twist, a soul. It's purely classic here. You cannot enter without a guided tour. Guided tours are conducted in sessions in different languages. We still need to get into our language. The group, as I understand it, will be recruited anyway.
It is simply a crime to travel around Armenia and not visit this museum. thanks to the guide Gayana for the informative lecture. I enjoyed it. Unfortunately, at the time of the visit (July 24th), the halls were under reconstruction after the medieval period.
We liked the museum. A large number of really interesting exhibits. We were without a tour, but everything is clear. There are annotations in English, our level was enough to understand.
I recommend it to those who are interested in history.
We will definitely visit again on our next trip to Armenia.
Музей очень понравился. Интересные экспозиции и вообще все что связано с историей - интересно! Кроме исторических экспонатов была фотовыставка - очень тронуло! Прониклись чувствами и духом страны в разные времена ее существования.
Единственно чего не хватало - это аудиогида на русском языке - приходилось пользоваться переводчиком для каждого описания - в общем все понятно, но не очень удобно и хотелось бы побольше информации.
The new exhibition is just a bomb!
With reconstructions, with cartoons.
With copies of the exhibits that you can touch!
Especially the Bronze Age bowl with several rows of comics impressed me. And the whole cart from the tomb.
It's better to go for a while so that you can look at it.
The only thing is that on the 3rd floor, all the Russian language was removed. But it's well written in English.
A very beautiful museum, it is not expensive, I recommend you to visit. As many as 3 floors of exhibits and a bunch of fascinating signatures. You can visit more than once
An interesting collection, although unfortunately only archaeology, so the name does not really correspond to the concept of the exhibition. But the art gallery is wonderful, especially Aivazovsky
The museum's exposition tells about the history of Armenia from antiquity to the Middle Ages. It is located on the 3rd floor. 1st and 2nd floor - temporary exhibitions, carpets at the moment. The disadvantage is that the information is presented only in Armenian and English. If you don't own them, take a guide. We had Diana - great! 1.5 hours of an interesting story.
Conveniently located, it can be immediately combined with the National Gallery. A good collection of ancient artifacts, it is better of course to watch with a guided tour so as not to miss something interesting. Temporary exhibitions are also held.
The museum is generally interesting, but there are no descriptions of the exhibits in Russian. Only Armenian and English are available. We understand what this means. And the sediment also remained. That's how the whole country tries to drive on square wheels.
A sooo rich museum. It's better to take a guided tour. We walked on our own, so there was not enough information, of course. Although there are quite a lot of stands.
An interesting museum, take a guide, you won't regret it, minus the stars.K. half of the museum is closed for repairs, the museum is a country with a rich history, the staff speaks different languages
Diana is an excellent guide, an hour and a half flew by unnoticed, it would be possible to continue listening. A wonderful exposition, the carpet exhibition is impressive. On a rainy day, the museum turned out to be very appropriate.
We express our heartfelt gratitude to Roland for his interesting presentation of the history of Armenia. During the tour, we were able to look at the historical facts that we already know from a new perspective. It was a fascinating journey through the corridors of time with a fantastically exciting presentation of the material. Thanks to our guide, we were imbued with deep respect for the proud and steadfast Armenian people, who are able to survive difficult times and carry the love of their native land in their hearts through the centuries. We wish the museum prosperity and replenishment of the collection with new historical materials. I wish the employees good health and a peaceful sky over their heads.
Three enthusiastic travelers from St. Petersburg
My first visit to the History Museum won my heart. The hall with decorations and carpets made a great impression! My soul rested looking at the handmade patterns.
The designers of the expositions worked very well. Easy navigation, lots of light.
The entire second floor is closed! That is, only before the Bronze Age and there is no information anywhere that these halls are closed. And there's the most interesting thing! I have a bad impression of the museum and the approach of the museum staff!
A great museum, beautiful exhibits. You can walk on it for a long time and study them. Be sure to visit.

One of the best museums in terms of layout and saturation. The staff is very polite and helpful. An additional plus is an art gallery and an exhibition of copies of frescoes from the 4th - 13th century. Below you can buy replicas of jewelry displayed in the museum))
One of the best museums I've ever been to. The detailed and interesting history of Armenia from ancient times. There are interactive items.
It's a pity that there are no high-quality souvenirs.
A wonderful museum, very interesting, a lot of very different exhibits and good additions with video sequences on special screens about how people in ancient times built certain products, etc.
Хороший,интересный музей. Стоимость 2500 драмм. Самый главный минус,в том,что на самих информационных стендах-мало информации. Просто ходить не понимающе смотреть на экспонаты-да. В остальном,нужно брать гида. Сейчас идет ремонт,часть экспонатов недоступна ,так же не работает кондиционер и в здании,безумно душно и жарко. История Армении очень тяжелая,в ней было много крови и войн,хотелось бы узнать более обширнее об этом,чего сделать не удалось. Экспонатов достаточно,есть фотовыставка,музей рекомендую к посещению
The museum has spoiled the impressions of Yerevan. All exhibits can be found in every museum of the history of any country, there is not a single inscription in Russian. For 7500 drams per person, you will get a tired guide who will try to remember Russian words twice as long as the stated time. If you do not mind your time and money, in no case do not buy a tour, walk around the halls and then get more information.
I recommend this museum. But you should speak English if you are Russian. Because staffs of museum are agry. Especially in an art museum. Except for the halls staffs, they're friendly.
Exposition is great and very interesting. You can order guide or watch all by yourself.
Price is overage :)
The exposition of antiquities is impressive. However, it's a bit poor for the main museum of the country. Without the museum staff, it is completely unclear where to go and where the continuation of the exhibition is
Мне понравилась экспозиция, посвящённая истории развития Армении как государства. Видно, что армяне любят и ценят своё историческое прошлое, берегут артефакты, найденные в разных уголках этой страны. Немного трудно разобраться русскоязычным туристам, совсем нет указателей на русском языке.
Наверное, очень обширная экспозиция. Но во время нашего посещения были открыты только 3 зала, остальные - на ремонте. И при этом внутри было ОЧЕНЬ душно: кондиционеры не работали или их не было, а вентиляторы не справлялись с уличной жарой, помноженной на посетителей.
Жаль, но все это вкупе не позволило нам в полной мере насладиться музеем
I liked the museum, but the legends (captions) to the exhibits are in Armenian and in English. It's funny because when I was at the museum there weren't many Armenians there at all, and only 1 Frenchman, the rest were Russian-speaking
There is no ramp for strollers and reading in English is probably not as convenient as in Russian either )
Therefore , the impressions of the museum were the worst . There is no audio guide either. You can't book a tour in Russian either. In short, minimal customer orientation
Прекрасный музей. Не понимаю возмущений или замечаний, что все на армянском и английском. Недавно был в Лувре Абу-Даби все на арабском и английском. И из-за этого занижать отметку? Вы же понимаете, что едете в независимое государство со своим языком. На фоне творящегося в мире вообще странно, что удивляются отсутствую русского. Хотя его и без политики в музеях Армении быть не должно. Реальность такова, что русский язык может быть только в музеях России.
Мне тут очень нравится высота потолков. В целом музеям Армении не хватает новаторского подхода, интерактивности. Для меня сувенирки скучные, устаревшие. Искренне желаю музею пересмотреть свой стиль работы.
I expected more, in fact, there are only a couple of halls for the entire museum of history: from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age.. There is also an art gallery and a carpet museum, but it is just above the floor for additional inspection.
Помещения музея не обеспечены должной вентиляцией. Билеты стоят не дёшево....но мне хотелось покинуть музей, т.к. состояние было близко к обморочному из-за нехватки воздуха. В залах стоят обычные комнатные вентиляторы, которые не обеспечивают циркуляцию воздуха. Экспозиция интересная, но получить удовольствия от просмотра не получилось. В музее была в июле 2023. На улице жара, а в музее не лучше....
В музее на середину апреля открыто всего несколько залов - каменный век, украшения, оружие и ковры. Поскольку экспозиция составлена не по историческим периодам, а по предметным категориям, целостного впечатления она не оставляет и не дает общей картины истории страны. Отсутствует аудиогид, текст, сопровождающий экспонаты, зачастую слишком мелкий и объемный. Учитывая большое количество посетителей из стран СНГ, стоило бы добавить текст на русском языке.
Музею стоит пересмотреть подход к формированию экспозиции. В качестве примера лучших практик я бы советовал сотрудникам музея посетить исторический музей в Бишкеке.
This is the second time in this museum. It is a pity that some halls are closed for restoration. We visited an excursion from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages.
Кто любит археологические раскопки,то можно сходить.Мы были в июне 2023 года,часть экспозиции была закрыта на реставрацию.Вход 2500 драм за человека,если с экскурсией то 5000.И что самое главное,все на английком и армянском языке.Ходишь и просто глазеешь.
