Komitas Museum-Institute

Komitas Museum-Institute, Biographical museum in Shengavit district, Yerevan, Armenia.

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 Armenian government founded the Komitas Museum-Institute by a decision of 24 July 2014, and it opened on 29 January 2015 in Komitas Park, on the site of the former house of culture. Construction was financed by the Pyunik and Luys foundations, and the architect was Arthur Meschian. President Serzh Sargsyan, Catholicos Karekin II and Catholicos Aram I attended the opening.

The museum's eight halls trace Komitas's work as a collector of Armenian folk song, from the environments where the music was formed to the process of recording it. The fourth hall, "The works of Komitas in folkloric research", presents this through paintings and other exhibits. The research centre continues the study of his archive and of the Armenian spiritual chant system.

The museum stands in Komitas Park in the Shengavit district, beside the Komitas Pantheon, where the composer is buried. The building replaces the former house of culture designed in 1949 by architect Koryun Hakobyan. It holds a concert hall, research centre, music studio, library and publishing house, so parts of it may be busy with events rather than exhibitions.

The building replaced an old house of culture designed in 1949 by architect Koryun Hakobyan; the new museum project was drawn up by architect Arthur Meschian. Its eight halls were curated by Vardan Karapetyan with design by photographer Alberto Torsello, and the display draws objects from the Charents Museum of Literature and Art, the National Gallery and the National Library.
