Alexander Spendiaryan Museum

Alexander Spendiaryan Museum, Biographical museum of Armenian composer in Nalbandyan Street, Yerevan, Armenia.

The Alexander Spendiaryan Museum occupies the apartment at 21 Nalbandyan Street where the composer lived from 1926 to 1928, in a building designed by architect Alexander Tamanian. Its memorial study is reconstructed from his daughter's recollections and a photograph taken on the day he died. Two rooms trace his life in Crimea, Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Armenia, and his creative output.

The museum was founded by a decree of the Council of Ministers of the Armenian SSR on 21 November 1963, following a request from the composer's daughter Marina Spendiarova. It opened on 25 November 1967 in the apartment at 21 Nalbandyan Street, where Spendiaryan had lived from 1926 to 1928 in a building designed by architect Alexander Tamanian. The flat became a memorial apartment and the house is listed as a cultural-historical monument of republican significance.

Every year on the composer's birthday, memorial events are held at his grave, and the traditional "Oath of Young Spendiaryanists" links the museum with the music school named after him. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions, concerts, lectures, seminars and film screenings.

The museum is open several days per week with guided tours offered in multiple languages. Plan your visit in advance to confirm which language guides are available on your preferred day.

The museum holds 1,345 items, among them the Spendiaron, a musical instrument built to the composer's own design. The first Yerevan staging of his opera Almast in 1933 is recalled by its original poster. The memorial room is furnished as it was in his lifetime, kept deliberately plain.
