Armenian Museum of America, History museum in Watertown, United States
The Armenian Museum of America contains over 20,000 artifacts across multiple galleries in a 30,000-square-foot building on Main Street in Watertown, Massachusetts.
Founded in 1971 in two rented church rooms in Belmont, the museum relocated to its current location in 1988 after acquiring the former Coolidge Bank building.
