Hovhannes Tumanyan House-Museum

Hovhannes Tumanyan House-Museum, Literary museum in Yerevan, Armenia.

The Hovhannes Tumanyan House-Museum is a literary museum in Yerevan dedicated to the Armenian writer and poet. It holds manuscripts, photographs, personal items, and approximately 8000 volumes from his private library.

The museum was founded in 1953 by Tumanyan's daughter, who served as its first director. A new two-story building was added in 1969 to mark the centenary of the poet's birth.

The second floor recreates the six rooms of Tumanyan's last Tiflis apartment at 18 Amagleba Street, where he lived from 1900 until his death in 1923, furnished as it was then. A separate hall holds his personal library of about 8,000 volumes in several languages. Elsewhere, a panorama of the Lori Gorge is shown with music from the opera Anush.

The museum closed for reconstruction in September 2023, funded with 750 million drams by the Armenian government; during this period it operates at the Hrant Matevosyan Cultural Centre-Museum, 51/1 Abovyan Street, Yerevan. At the Moskovyan 40 site, 54 steps lead up to the entrance, a number matching the poet's age at his death. On 18 November 2025 the Yerevan Council of Elders decided to demolish the museum's second building to make way for a new structure.

The museum stands on a height reached by 54 steps, a number matching the years Tumanyan lived. Inside, a panorama of the Lori Gorge is shown with music from the opera Anush, and a corner reproduces the Tiflis garret where he worked.
