Armenian Railways Museum, Railway museum at Yerevan Station, Armenia
The Armenian Railways Museum in Yerevan houses train models, historical documents, photographs, and railway equipment displayed across ten exhibition halls. The collection traces the development and infrastructure of rail networks that served the region since the late 1800s.
The first railway line in Armenia opened in the 1890s and connected the region to broader transportation networks. The museum building opened in 2009, replacing a Soviet-era exhibition that previously occupied a single carriage on the station tracks.
The museum documents how railways connected Armenian communities across more than a century and shaped the lives of people in the region. Visitors can see the importance of rail transport for trade and travel throughout the South Caucasus.
The museum is located near Tigran Mets Avenue and is within walking distance of the main train station. It is advisable to check opening hours before visiting, as the museum may have limited availability on certain days.
The outdoor area displays a preserved 1930s locomotive, which shows what trains looked like and how massive the machines were compared to modern ones. Alongside the locomotive stand vintage freight cars and maintenance equipment that reveal the work behind railway operations.
