Modern Art Museum of Yerevan, Modern art museum in Yerevan, Armenia.
The Modern Art Museum of Yerevan is an art museum in central Yerevan that displays contemporary artworks in several exhibition spaces. The building is located on Mashtots Avenue and features various artistic works from different periods and styles.
The museum was founded in 1972 and was the first specialized modern art museum across the entire territory of the Soviet Union. The collection developed through direct donations from artists at a time when modern artistic expressions faced restrictions under socialist realism policies.
The museum displays works by Armenian artists who were active in the 1960s, exploring different forms of expression during that period. These works reflect the artistic diversity that emerged in Armenia at that time.
Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday to Sunday, and guided tours are available in multiple languages. It is helpful to check opening hours before visiting and allow enough time to view the exhibitions.
The original collection formed when artistic freedom was highly restricted and artists donated their works directly to the museum. This makes the collection a testament to artistic courage and determination under difficult circumstances.
