Komitas Museum-Institute

The Komitas Museum-Institute is a modern building in Yerevan with eight exhibition halls displaying personal items, manuscripts, and musical documents of the Armenian composer and musicologist. The spaces present his research and collections related to Armenian music in an organized way.

The institution was founded in 2015, replacing a former cultural house with support from the Pyunik and Luys foundations. The project aimed to systematically preserve Armenian musical heritage and make it accessible to the public.

The museum showcases how Komitas gathered and documented Armenian folk music, making him a central figure in preserving these traditions. Visitors can see how his work changed the way Armenian music is understood and continues to inspire musicians today.

Visitors can enjoy guided tours in Armenian, Russian, and English, with visits best planned from Monday through Saturday. The building is easily accessible and well-equipped for both groups and individual travelers.

The museum houses a research center and concert hall where international musicians gather for the annual Komitas conference. These events transform the space into an active hub for musical scholarship and artistic exchange.
