The 10 Best 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.

This is a must visit place. It vividly captures the plight of Armenians living in Turkey during WW1, it gives perspective of current values of Armenia. It will leave you in a state of shock by the horror captured on film of the genocide.

The building is very nice, there's a QR code on every art piece so it's easy to understand the artists vision. You can ask the guide if you need more details. Our guide was so sweet and welcoming. Eduard's technique is so interesting, it's totally worth to take a look.

I loved learning about the fascinating history of currency throughout Armenian history! I had never stopped to think about what a Central Bank actually does, and was surprised by how much they do to support our economy. I would recommend this tour for solo travelers or families!
