Museum of Avetik Isahakyan in Gyumri, Biographical museum in Kumayri district, Gyumri, Armenia.

The Museum of Avetik Isahakyan is a biographical museum housed in a traditional Armenian building that displays original manuscripts, photographs, and personal belongings of the poet. The rooms are organized to show different periods of his life and work through these objects and documents.

The museum opened in 1975 in what was once Avetik Isahakyan's own home, preserving the space where the poet lived and worked during his most productive years. His literary output spanned the early decades of the 20th century and left a lasting impact on Armenian writing.

The exhibits show how Isahakyan shaped Armenian poetry and influenced writers who came after him through his distinctive voice and themes. Walking through the rooms, you notice how his personal life and his literary work were deeply connected.

The museum is located in the Kumayri district of Gyumri and is easy to find within the historic neighborhood. Plan to spend about an hour here to look through the displays without rushing through the rooms.

The building itself was the poet's actual home, not a purpose-built museum, which gives your visit a more personal quality. You stand in the same rooms where Isahakyan wrote his most important works.
