such a nice structure. didn’t get the chance to visit inside but i’ll come around again. all the statues are of high significance and you can find explanations about them around.

Definitely visit for a unique museum! The entrance and building is very cool and their collection of manuscripts is amazing! Many old and biblical texts in addition to others such as political documents, medical texts, etc. They accepted our international university ID cards and gave us the student discount (each student ticket costs 300).

Was there on a Monday so the museum wasn't opened. But the building and statue looks good and there us a good vibe in that place. Might visit again if I have the chance.

I did not know what to expect from this museum, but I certainly did not expect to be so deeply...moved by its collection. The minuscule details, the amount of time, work, attention, precision, and talent that went into producing those illuminations and miniatures simply blew me away. A must see in Yerevan.

Super nice museum, even if many exhibits are not in a Western language. But the atmosphere, the ancient scriptures are all well displayed.

They have a good collection of manuscripts. Don’t do it without the guide. You won’t understand much. Audio guide isn’t available.

It has a great collection of manuscripts on display. However it's a shame that it doesn't let people take photos or videos. And the fit shop section was closed during our visit on a Friday early afternoon and we couldn't buy anything though we wanted to. There were many people working though.

Very Impressive building but inside there are not many things to see... Unless you are specialised in ancient transcripts... Entrance fee is so small so in case you don't have anything else to do is a nice walk...
