The Geological Museum and Art Gallery of Dilijan

The Geological Museum and Art Gallery of Dilijan, Museum and art gallery in Dilijan, Armenia.

The Geological Museum and Art Gallery of Dilijan occupies a building completed in 2010 to the design of city architect Nver Danielyan. Its collection numbers 1,017 archaeological objects, 628 ethnographic items, 409 paintings, 353 graphic works, 391 applied-art pieces and 47 silver items, 36 of them coins.

A teacher named Yeghishe Hovsepyan founded the museum in 1950, initially storing collected objects in the town library. The collection later moved to its own dedicated building, where it has remained accessible to the public.

The gallery, established in 1958, holds original works by Hovhannes Aivazovsky, Vardges Sureniants, Gevorg Bashinjaghian, Martiros Saryan, Edgar Chahine, Rockwell Kent and Jean Carzou, alongside Dutch, Italian and French paintings of the 16th to 18th centuries. Long-time director Albert Matinyan and Honored Artist of Armenia Hovhannes Sharambeyan built up the collection.

The museum stands at 28 Myasnikyan Street in Dilijan, Tavush Province. The current building, designed by city architect Nver Danielyan, replaced the old structure demolished in 2005 and opened officially in 2010; visitors have been admitted since 1 April 2011. The archaeology section, with finds from around Dilijan, is the part most worth seeking out.

The museum's archaeological section holds 1,017 objects found around Dilijan, dating to the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages. The gallery also keeps 47 silver items, 36 of them coins, and 39 old printed books. Long-time director Albert Matinyan and painter Hovhannes Sharambeyan built up these holdings.
