The museum is located on Garegin Nzhdeh Street and operates from Tuesday through Sunday. Visitors should know it is a small, specialized museum, so expect longer waits during busy times.

The museum preserves a collection of gifts that were given during this person's lifetime and after their death. These personal gifts reveal the connections and esteem this individual held in Armenian society.
