Ervand Kochar Museum, Modern art museum in central Yerevan, Armenia.
The Ervand Kochar Museum is an art museum in central Yerevan located in a former studio building on Mesrop Mashtots Avenue. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, and drawings that form the core of what is displayed.
The artist Kochar developed his Painting in Space concept during his time in Paris from 1923 to 1936. The museum was founded in 1984 to preserve his works and make them accessible to the public.
The museum displays works by the Armenian artist Kochar, who combined his creations with European influences while enriching the local artistic tradition. Visitors can observe how this blend appears throughout the exhibited paintings and sculptures.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and offers guided tours in multiple languages. Allow time to explore the collection at your own pace and take in the building itself as part of the experience.
The museum holds the largest collection of Painting in Space works outside the Pompidou Center in Paris. Some sculptures were created using cold wax, a technique rarely seen in other museums.
