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 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.
