Khachatur Abovyan, History museum in Kanaker district, Yerevan, Armenia.
The museum complex features a restored 18th-century ancestral residence and a modern exhibition building constructed from basalt and tuff stone materials.
The museum opened in 1939 to preserve the legacy of Khachatur Abovyan, who disappeared mysteriously in 1848 after writing the first modern Armenian novel.
The collection contains manuscripts, letters, translations, and artworks that document the development of modern Armenian literature and educational methods.
The museum welcomes visitors from Monday through Saturday, with entrance fees of 300 Dram for students and 500 Dram for adults.
The museum grounds include a memorial fountain symbolizing Armenian-Estonian friendship and sculptures depicting scenes from Abovyan's literary works.
