It is not necessary to visit Yerevan. The disadvantages noted by me:
- there is no audio guide;
- excursions on an unknown schedule;
- information about the artist is available only in the Aivazovsky hall, in the rest there are just paintings /sculptures without any interactive;
- repairs are underway on the 5th-6th floor, so viewing Aivazovsky is accompanied by a puncher;
- inconvenient working hours from 11 to 18, it is almost impossible to get there with a busy tour program.
Otherwise, a solid 4 with a minus.
It's a great place. The museum itself-both its directions, the attitude of the staff, ventilation-everything is at the highest level. I was pleasantly surprised by the presence of a hall with paintings by Aivazovsky and replicas of jewelry sold at the entrance 😁
A very interesting museum with great potential, it seems to me that a couple of floors there are just empty, Armenian art is presented just great, but Russian and Western European artists are not, a large exhibition of Aivazovsky, well, Armenians consider him their own.
