Unfortunately, I'm disappointed. The museum is very interesting, but one of those that definitely needs a guide. And here - as luck would have it. We were unlucky. Fifa, with a painted smile and bad breath, expertly wagging her hips, dragged through the halls, ramming the memorized tex in a learned velvety voice. The girl did her job conscientiously, but in the same tone, smoothly moving her pointer, she would talk about cognac varieties or paintings by avant-garde artists, the limit is 30 words per object. She is equally uninterested in all this. And we wanted to know about the bird alphabet, the composition of paper and paints, but asking questions was as useless as an audio guide. It would be better if she told in detail about the contents of one showcase, but for this you need to know and love what you are talking about. I went to the museum immediately after the tour, and the contrast with the guide, an equally young girl who spoke with love and pride about ancient Armenian temples, was especially expressive and depressing.
In general, go, the ticket and the tour are inexpensive. I hope you have better luck.

The atmosphere of antiquity captures from the door and does not let go during the visit. The exposition is shown very well.

It's very interesting, it's a book museum. Some books of the 4th-5th centuries. The labels on the tags are in Armenian or English. It is better to hire a tour guide.

There are a lot of interesting documents. But it was strange that in the first days of January it was closed. We were able to visit only on the 8th. If you go along the dorge to the left, you can get to the Cascade already in the upper part.
