Museum of Armenian Genocide, Historical memorial complex on Tsitsernakaberd Hill, Yerevan, Armenia.
The Museum of Armenian Genocide is a memorial site on a hill in Yerevan designed with exhibition halls, documents, and personal accounts. The complex consists of multiple areas, including a central space and corridors that guide visitors through systematically organized material.
The site was built in 1967 to commemorate events that occurred between 1915 and 1922. Since then it has become the main place for national mourning and international remembrance.
The site's name reflects the events of 1915-1922, and visitors often see flowers placed at the eternal flame by those paying respect. The quiet mood and presence of visitors from around the world show how important this place is for remembrance and grief.
The site sits on a hill and requires a climb, so comfortable shoes and time to explore should be planned. Visiting on a quieter day can allow for a more focused and reflective experience.
A long memorial wall is engraved with names of affected towns, creating a personal connection to specific places impacted. Trees planted by international leaders also stand on the grounds, symbolizing worldwide attention to this site.
