With a world-class collection of awe-inspiring works in an equally awesome building, this is certainly a must-see in Yerevan. The manuscripts are presented without much context however, so the 5000 dram guided tour is worthwhile if you can afford it. Had the collection only been better presented, this could have been a museum of global renown.

Though the displays could need much more context, the items here are very impressive and definitely worth seeing if you like folk art.

A very bad museum, that totally squanders its potential with poorly presented artifacts and an uninspired presentation that for some reason randomly skips ahead straight from antiquity into the 19th century, with zero explanation of what happened in between. There would have been potential to make this museum a good exposition on Yerevan's history, but it fails utterly in this regard, being so confusing, random and poorly designes that it almost leaves you -less- knowledgeable when you walk out.

To add insult to injury, for some incomprehensible reason you're not allowed to take photos inside.

An underwhelming sight in a dark and grotty park, especially in comparison to the vibrant water-splashing fountain park next to it.
