Sergei Paradjanov Museum

Visiting the Parajanov Museum was an unforgettable experience and easily one of the highlights of my trip to Yerevan. Nestled on a hillside with beautiful views of the city, this museum offers a deep and moving insight into the life, creativity, and genius of Sergei Parajanov – one of the most original filmmakers and artists of the 20th century. The museum is set in a charming traditional house where Parajanov spent his final years. Each room is packed with his personal artworks, collages, drawings, installations, and film-related materials that showcase his vibrant imagination and unique artistic voice. Even if you’re not familiar with his films beforehand, you’ll be captivated by the surreal, poetic, and symbolic world he created. The curators have done an excellent job preserving the atmosphere and presenting the exhibits in a way that feels personal and intimate. The museum is not too big, so you can take your time to absorb each detail without feeling overwhelmed. There’s also a helpful guidebook available in multiple languages, and the staff were warm, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. Whether you’re into cinema, art, history, or simply curious about Armenia’s cultural treasures, the Parajanov Museum is a must-see. It’s a place that inspires creativity and stays with you long after you leave. Don’t miss it!

Though one staff member was quite rude, that was the only blemish on an otherwise incredibly unique experience. It's not for the faint of heart, but you'll be captivated by visually striking masterpieces around every corner. Definitely worth a visit! While you're there, make sure to explore the charming Kond district too. I won't be sharing pictures from inside; you'll want to experience it for yourself!

I absolutely love ancient museums, and this one is definitely one of my favorites. I’m so glad I had the chance to visit it. I really enjoyed it – such a lovely and charming place! 🫶

A must-visit. Really good museum with a lot of Paradjanov's works (besides his movies). After going through all the rooms you will be able to see his true character. I didn't really start to love him (because I don't understand him well), but I admit that thanks to the museum I saw him as a genius.

Great museum showcasing Sergeis work. Lots yo see and think about. Feels like there could be a lot more information to accompany the art but perhaps that's when you need the local tour guide to explain some of the art and put it into some context.

Very nice museum. You should go. Ticket is 1500 AMD.

Amazing to learn his stories! I wish the guided tour could be better

I loved this museum! Unique artist and art pieces, inspired by his experience in the Caucasian region. I was particularly fascinated by Parajanov's collages and his combinations of different materials and shapes, that didn't resemble anything I had seen before! I highly recommend this museum, it is truly fascinating!
