Yeghishe Charents House-Museum, Biographical museum in Kentron District, Yerevan, Armenia.

The Yeghishe Charents House-Museum occupies the flat where the poet lived from 1935 to 1937, in Yerevan's Kentron District. Its three exhibition halls follow his life in periods: Hall A (1897–1918), Hall B (1918–1927) and Hall C (1928–1937). The Memorial House keeps the original layout, furnished with a Becker grand piano, a typewriter, red wood furniture, carpets inherited from his father, Chinese panels and bronze Buddha statues.

The museum was founded in 1964 by decree of the Council of Ministers of Soviet Armenia and opened to the public in 1975. It was established at a time when Soviet authorities began rehabilitating the legacy of writers who had been persecuted during the Stalinist repressions.

The memorial flat keeps the layout of the 1930s, with Chinese panels on the walls of the study and drawing room showing scenes from Chinese tales. The drawing room holds a set of nine woodcuts from the Toyokuni series, brought back from Charents's 1924–1925 trip abroad. The museum also hosts literary-musical gatherings, lectures, concerts and poetry readings.

The museum sits on Mashtots Avenue in central Yerevan, within walking distance of many other sites in the area. It is open Tuesday through Sunday, so it fits easily into a broader day of exploring the city center.

The poet's private library, kept in the museum, holds over 1,400 volumes, many with handwritten notes in the margins. These annotations show how he engaged with the books he read and make the collection one of the most personal parts of the visit.
