The 6 Best History Museums in Yerevan, Armenia
Long fought over by warring empires, the city of Yerevan survived centuries of foreign occupation, finally becoming independent with the fall of the Soviet Union. This capital city, a center of Armenian culture, has celebrated its freedom with a flurry of construction and a growing population. Despite this push forward, history survives in Yerevan - The Institute of Ancient Manuscripts houses books dating back to the 9th century, and the ruins of the Erebuni Fortress, built in 782 BC, still stand.

Great collection of Italian, Flemish and French painters on the upper floor. Among others cannaletto and teniers. Beautiful Russian gallery on the next floor. And then come the armenian artists. Museum itself is interesting as well, soviet style architecture.

Armenia is one of oldest countries in the world, and History Museum is on mandatory list for people who are interested in how people lived in old times. Unique items are oldest known shoe of above 5000 age, horse wagons found in Sevan lake, a lot of ceramics of really big age. Museum is well organized. Ticket is not expensive, and you do not need more than 2 hours, but if you have time, could spend more. Main city square, so easy to find. We have been on morning excursion, and then asked our guide to drop us next to museum in the afternoon. Nice walk in the city center followed. You could organize your day differently, of cause.
