Yeghishe Charents House-Museum, Biographical museum in Kentron District, Yerevan, Armenia.
Yeghishe Charents House-Museum is located in a pink tuff stone building on Mashtots Avenue and displays the rooms where the poet lived and worked. The museum spreads across three exhibition halls totaling more than 600 square meters, showcasing manuscripts, photographs, and personal belongings.
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 created to preserve the legacy of an influential Armenian writer for future generations.
The house preserves the memory of one of Armenia's most significant poets of the 20th century, whose words continue to resonate in Armenian culture today. Visitors can see personal objects that reflect his life and intellectual world.
The museum is open to visitors Tuesday through Sunday and sits centrally in Yerevan, easy to reach on foot. Plan enough time to walk through the rooms and exhibitions at a comfortable pace.
The house preserves the poet's private library with over 1,400 books, many bearing handwritten notes in the margins. These annotations reveal which works influenced him most and how he engaged with literary ideas.
