Mikoyan Brothers Museum, Biographical museum in Sanahin, Armenia.
The Mikoyan Brothers Museum is a biographical museum in Sanahin dedicated to two prominent Soviet figures. The collection includes personal items, photographs, and documents that chronicle their professional contributions and family history.
Established in 1971, the museum preserves the story of two brothers who made their mark in different sectors of Soviet life. One became prominent in aviation design while the other held significant positions in Soviet government and economics.
The exhibition displays personal items that reflect how the brothers shaped Soviet innovation in their respective fields. Visitors can observe everyday objects that belonged to them alongside evidence of their professional accomplishments.
The museum is reached on foot through the village of Sanahin, with clear signage pointing the way. Wear comfortable shoes and allow time to explore the exhibitions at a leisurely pace without rushing.
The MiG aircraft and Artem Mikoyan's official car were both brought from Moscow on 17 June 1982, the day the memorial and museum opened. The car belonged to Artem Mikoyan, not to his brother Anastas. The museum was founded in 1971 by their cousin Nushik Mikoyan.
