My hometown is Gyumri.
A city of humor, love, arts and crafts. Friendly and hospitable people live and work here.
my unique, beautiful Gyumri.There are museums here, one of which is the Merkurov House Museum.
I advise everyone who comes to Gyumri to visit this museum to learn more about Gyumri...
A spacious and welcoming museum by an excellent sculptor with a distinct, recognizable handwriting.
Thanks to Director Arshak Manukyan for the tour and the friendly conversation.
The most interesting place, the bold design, the dynamic solution of the space do not allow you to feel the oppressive feeling of the phrase "death masks". Of course, by ordering the services of a guide, the impression will be maximum. But if it doesn't work out, just by watching the exhibition, you will get a lot of new impressions
The Merkurov house itself is basically a collection of death masks. It's creepy to walk there, as if between the dead. Perhaps a good guide could tell their story, otherwise see what dead Sverdov, Frunze and many more looked like for an amateur.
I expected more from the museum. A very small exhibition, mainly consisting of death masks of famous people and photos of monuments that stand in different cities of the country.
They charged 1000 drams for admission, when the average cost to museums in Gyumri is 300 drams.
