Aznavour Center, Cultural center and museum at Cascade Hill, Yerevan, Armenia.
The Aznavour Center is a museum and cultural facility on Cascade Hill in Yerevan dedicated to the life and work of the renowned singer. The exhibition spans over ten halls that document his journey from childhood through his years as a world-famous performer.
The Aznavour Center is the first cultural project of the Aznavour Foundation. Its project presentation was attended by French President Emmanuel Macron and Armenian President Armen Sarkissian. An interactive museum was planned for 2021, with ten halls tracing Aznavour's life from infancy to worldwide fame, narrated by the artist himself through an audio guide.
The center shows how Aznavour lived between Armenian and French cultures, blending both worlds into his work throughout his life. Visitors can see how this connection shaped his artistic choices and remained central to everything he created.
The center sits at the top of Cascade Hill in Yerevan, above the Cascade steps and plaza. The interactive museum is planned across 10 halls, with an audio guide recorded in Aznavour's own voice. Visitors can mix songs and record in a studio there. French courses use his song lyrics alongside traditional teaching, with a media library run with the French Institute.
The center houses a recording studio where visitors can compose and mix their own musical pieces while exploring the exhibits. This rare opportunity lets guests experience the creative process firsthand alongside learning about a legendary musician's journey.
