Axel Bakunts House-Museum

Axel Bakunts House-Museum, Biographical museum in Goris, Armenia.

The Axel Bakunts House-Museum is a biographical collection in Goris displaying furniture, books, photographs, and documents from the life of an Armenian writer. The building itself served as the writer's childhood home and contains four rooms arranged with his personal possessions and published works.

Axel Bakunts was born in this house in 1899 and died in 1937. The museum opened on 17 September 1970, after half of the house had been sold and was bought back for the writer's 90th anniversary. Director Kajik Mikayelyan drove its creation. A major renovation in 2011 replaced the roof and redid the interior, and in 2012 a railing was installed and the facade lit from the street.

The museum is a branch of the Yeghishe Charents Museum of Literature and Art. It hosts events on Bakunts's writing and on current literary questions, and holds annual Bakunts Days. The house stands on Mashtots Street in Goris, in Syunik Province.

The museum is at Mashtots Street 41 in Goris, in Syunik Province. It opened on 17 September 1970, after the house was bought back that year for Bakunts's 90th anniversary; the building was renovated in 2011 and its exterior finished in 2012. The house was founded as a museum in 1968 and is a branch of the Yeghishe Charents Museum of Literature and Art.

The house was sold in part before the museum opened; in 1970, for Bakunts's 90th anniversary, it was bought back and the museum inaugurated on 17 September 1970. Director Kajik Mikayelyan drove its creation, and a 2011 renovation replaced the roof and reworked the interior.
