Genuinely something completely different! We see influences of the Soviet Union on our travels through Armenia, but it is part of Armenia’s history that is rarely talked about and often ignored. The Soviet Union left its mark with the concrete tower blocks we see in the regional industrialised towns, but did you know that Armenia had a great influence on the Soviet Union. Two remarkable Armenian brothers you have probably never heard of, born in the small village of Sanahin, who changed not just the Soviet Union, but impacted on world history. Please let us introduce you to ANASTAS and ARTEM MIKOYAN and be prepared to be astonished. ANASTAS was one of the longest serving members of the Soviet Politburo, from the early Stalin years through to Brezhnev. His life and career were extraordinary and never fail to surprise our visitors. ARTEM was the creative genius and co-designer of MIG fighter jets. One of our exhibits is a genuine MiG-21 and we're ENGLISH FRIENDLY

The museum is located near the old Sanahin monastery, so I recommend to visit both places during Your trip to Alaverdi. Inside the museum You will find a very nice and interesting collection of various Mikoyan Brothers personal things and learn a lot about them and their work. The museum staff is very kind, helpful, professional and knowledgeable - they speak also English. Outside the museum You will find a beautiful garden with a breathtaking mountain view, memorials and - of course - a famous MiG-21 fighter aircraft on display. You can also buy some very nice souvenirs (magnets, postcards, pens etc.) inside the museum building and support this fantastic museum. I recommend this museum to every aviation and history fan. I hope to visit this place again in the future! Thank You for a great experience and wish You all the best! :-)

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.

Whenever visiting the "Echmiadzin Monastery" complex in Vagharshapat, you cannot miss the "Alex and Marie Manoogian Treasury House Museum". This is simply the treasury of the "Mother See of Holy Echmiadzin". With funds provided by the "Mannogian Family", the museum opened its doors in 1982. The building, a fine example of modern Armenian architecture, houses a huge collection of valuable religious articles belonging to the Armenian Apostolic Church. Among them, the precious relic of the "Holy Spear". According to legends, the spear which wounded Jesus Christ at the Crucifixion was brought by Saint Jude Thaddeus to Armenia and was kept at the "Geghardavank Monastery" (literally, "The Monastery of the Spear"), now known as "Geghard Monastery" (in Geghard), before being transferred to Echmiadzin. Take your time and stroll along crosses, chlalices, reliquaries, embroidered vestments, lanterns, carpets and so on. As the "Cathedral of Echmiadzin" is presently closed for renovations (and probably until 2022), the "Alex and Marie Manoogian Treasury House Museum" is the main attraction opened for visitors at the complex. Enjoy!
