Yerevan History Museum, Municipal history museum in central Yerevan, Armenia.
The Yerevan History Museum is a city museum that documents the development of Armenia's capital from early periods to the present day. It displays archaeological finds, ancient coins, paintings, documents, and historical photographs in organized sections.
The museum was founded in 1931 and later moved to its current building, which was designed by a local architect. This relocation in the early 2000s allowed for better presentation of its large collection.
The museum shows how daily life evolved in Yerevan through objects and photographs that document crafts and local traditions. These collections help visitors understand how people lived in the city across different periods.
The museum sits centrally in the city on Argishti Street and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should check opening hours and available tours in advance to make the most of their visit.
The museum preserves not just objects but also an extensive research library with documents about the city. These archives allow researchers and curious visitors to dig deeper into the city's past.
