"Ter-Ghazaryans’ Micro Art" is the first museum of microminiatures in Armenia. The main exhibition includes the micro works of grandfather and grandson Eduard Ter-Ghazaryan, placed on specially designed pedestals, with built-in lighting. Exhibits depict some of the cartoons created by the elder Eduard Ter-Ghazaryan, part of his unique musical instruments. The film portrays his multilateral and phenomenal genius. The idea of creating a museum was born in 2009, when grandfather Eduard Ter-Ghazaryan transmitted the secrets of this unique art to his namesake grandson, with the message that the latter preserves them, develops micro art and transmits it to future generations. The Ter-Ghazaryans’ Micro Art Museum has operated since November 1, 2018.

Lovers' Park Landscaping and Design Project started in 2006. The design for the reconstruction of the new Lovers' Park was conceived by Pierre Rambach, a well-known landscape architect from Switzerland, author of many books and articles on Japanese and Oriental gardens. After a year's research the renowned architect created the sketch plan which was approved by the Municipality of Yerevan. The plan reflects the basic principles of traditional oriental gardens. This is a haven of nature in a highly urbanized city with a peculiar inhabitable environment conceived by Mr. Rambach. Lovers' Park covers an area of 1.6 hectares (16'419 square meter/176'732 square feet). An artificial lake with two islands is located in the eastern side of the park. One of the islands serves as a stage for the 200-seat amphitheater opposite the lake. There are two waterfalls in the park, cascading into rivulets and flowing into the large lake. The park's Achajour café is one of favorite pastime places for Yerevan residents. The park is designed with the needs of physically challenged people in mind. The park has a public toilet, which includes a special cubicle for wheelchairs. There are no steps in the park, which enables easy access of wheelchairs to all parts.
