Near East Art Museum, Cultural museum in Kentron district, Yerevan, Armenia.

The Near East Art Museum in Yerevan is a museum dedicated to applied arts with pieces from Russian, European, and Middle Eastern traditions. The collection is arranged across three halls, displaying more than 2,600 objects that visitors can explore.

The museum opened in 1993 around the collection Marcos Grigorian donated to Armenia in memory of his daughter, actress Sabrina Grigorian. Grigorian, a painter and carpet designer born in Iran, bought most of the objects during his years there and moved them to Yerevan that year. The display occupies three halls of the Yerevan Museum of Literature and Culture.

The collection is built around Marcos Grigorian's own works and the objects he gathered while living in Iran, moved to Armenia in 1993. It includes Zoroastrian ritual objects, Elamite and early Bronze Age pottery, medieval Islamic pieces, Persian and Armenian archaeological finds, medieval manuscripts, Iranian miniatures and late Qajar art.

The museum is located on Aram Street and welcomes visitors on most days of the week with different opening hours on weekdays versus weekends. Checking the current hours before your visit helps ensure you arrive when the doors are open.
