Exhibition about soviet time, except Karabakh, only in Armenian. And about Karabakh, and the time of the first Caucasian Republics no mention about ethnic cleansing and massacres that took place by Armenian forces. Unfortunately just a unilateral history view.

We do not expected so many interesting artefacts. Very informative. The archeological parts are the best.

There are too few descriptions in English and Russian to fully enjoy the exhibition.

Awesome place. However, the staff are not cool at all. They don't behave properly and always follow the visitors to control them not to take any photos or touch something! I really felt how provocative they were looking at the visitors and were following them.
Some of the works need to have an English description in addition to their Armenian ones. Audio-guides should also be considered in the future.response / report this review -

Excellent but people working there are certainly rather rude, especially when you try to take photos which is forbidden, in Germany and France you are allowed to take photos. By the way , when you tell to someone to not take photos tell "no photos please" not just "no photos" am telling this for your own benefit learn what correct behavior and how to communicate pnduk glukh , otherwise the museum was ok

Located at the centre of Yerevan. Has three floors of Armenian history from the BC to present day. Price is 2000 dram. Most of the content is in Armenian. No photos allowed

The history of Armenia is ancient, and this museum does credit to the ancient brave people & nation of Armenia.

The staff here is incredibly rude and think they work in a Soviet gulag. They constantly order you from one room to the other.
At the end I was going to retrieve my jacket from the cloakroom at the bottom floor. The lady a floor above very rudely shouted and wanted me to climb up the stairs to come to her. Presumably she thought I was going to a section that needed a different ticket. Trying to explain I was getting my jacket from the cloakroom didnt help because she barely knows English. So I just ignored her shouts.
Have fun at the gulag.response / report this review -

I went twice to this museum as I am interested in knowing how the Armenian nation interprets its history. The description is not particularly detailed but still satisfying. However, some parts of the display are only in Armenian and Russian, particularly the Soviet period. The interpretation is a bit biased as well, even though I like this nation very much.

A MUST-SEE in Yerevan! As an Italian,I am used to beauty but still remained speechless before the masterpieces showcased in this museum,what Armenians were able to create throughout the centuries is just incredible.Please make sure you visit it!!

Very good museum but terrible "stalker" feeling. Every single room you enter someone will follow you around not to help you, but to make sure you are not taking pictures and to make it even worst, the books they sell with the pictures don't have not even half of what it is displayed making it very disappointing!

Plenty of interesting historical items with info in English. Also the ticket price is so low that it feels like you hit the jackpot once you enter and see everything that is hiding inside. Definitely a must when in Yerevan

You can't miss the location. It's the massively impressive building beside the fountain in republic square.
It's history museum and the art gallery. I chose to just visit the history museum which is 2000.
Like most museums it's a bit hit and miss. I visited Ani a few weeks ago in Eastern Turkey and they had a whole exhibit in this which I really enjoyed.
Some of the lighting is not great, parts are so dark you can barely see it. That could be improved.
Overall it's worth popping in and checking out.response / report this review -

Armenia has an unbelievably complex history. This museum does a good job in explaining the history. You can easily cruise through here in an hour, but to fully digest the material would take hours if not a full day. A must-see in Yerevan.

This museum tells a great story of Armenian history, from ancient to modern, including the 1915 Genocide.

Great museum! The excursion in English is very interesting, the guide knows a lot and tells it with enthusiasm. We spent 4 hours there but could walk there the whole day with her if she had a possibility.

Each floor has it's own history. Learn about Armenian history. The building is also beautiful from inside ;)
