Amazing monument, a must visit but make sure your taxi waits otherwise you can't leave.
Historical place to honour the Armenian people that was killed.
Very interesting and beautiful place with a nice view.
An inspiring memorial to hundreds of thousands of Armenians who were slaughtered without mercy by the Ottoman Turks during WWI. It's design is simplistic yet makes a strong statement. It was so nice to see all the flowers placed by the eternal flame. This is located on a quiet overlook SW of the city center.
Beautiful monument and incredible museum. Mostly text and copies of old photos but covers the history from 1900 onwards.
Beautiful place to see. Better to walk here. Also there are plenty of other places to see nearby the monument.
This museum is extremely well done. I learned a lot about the Armenian Genocide and I was thoroughly impressed by their thoroughness. The museum walks you through the entire history chronologically. It takes about 1.5 hours.
Really amazing place. Don't miss here if you got a chance to visit Armenia. OceanAir Travels is excellent and they make us felt comfortable. Keep up the good work guys..
A very solemn place, magnificently designed .
In memory of 1.5M Armenian Christian Martyrs at the hands of the Ottoman Turkish government.
It is a very emotional place. From the platform of the monument you can see Yerevan. In winter time you can see the holly mountain of the armenian nation: Ararat.
Super unfriendly, lazy staff treat me in a manner as if I am a criminal Turk/Azeri responsible for the genocide. To be fairly honest, I do not feel welcome: when I greeted the staff, I only received a poker faced look in return. When I tried to find the toilet before leaving, my treatment at the hands of the receptionist was even more disgusting. Never had I been treated in such a outrageous way in any museums I have visited! The staff at the National Museum of Armenia are so much nicer. What is wrong with the receptionists? I know the genocide was a hard event and working in this museum may make you depressed, but why cannot you be more polite and friendly to international guests interested in your country? YOU, the staff working here, are a complete disgrace to the beautiful country of Armenia!
I did not learn any new facts about the Genocide after spending two hours in the museum. The exhibition is not that detailed for me as a person who is interested in and has read something about the history of Armenia but it is fine for visitors unfamiliar with the genocide.
To speak in a even handed manner, the exhibition is a bit biased, especially the part concerning Germany's so called complicity in genocide, and the arguments put forward against Germany is lame and unconvincing in equal measure in the eyes of any person familiar with the history of the Armenian Holocaust, not to mention that the Young Turks' reasons for carrying out the Genocide were either completely glossed over or downright distorted in most cases. Buy yeah, the museum tells the story alone official line so that is what you would expect.
An impressive monument raising awareness of real and horribly cruel historical events.
While the turkish government still denies the ottoman's genocides, everyone who loves Armenia should come here.
Especially the museum accurately depicts the pain and suffering during the genocide and the struggle to spread the message of what really happened even 50 or 100 years later.
It's an honest exposure of history.
This is a must visit place while in Yerevan. Aside from learning the story of the people who lost their lives during the genocide, it also offers a beautiful panoramic sunroof view of the city and of the lofty peak of Mt Ararat.
A must see place in Armenia. It showcases the crulities Armenians gone through during the Armenian Genocide. Display of all the information in a proper order and well organised. It will give you a clear insight about the genocide. Please spend time to read all the events
I was doing the mistake to miss this museum, it's a must see. The architecture is gorgeous and if you read the step you can have a precise idea about the events and what happened. It avoid the witnesses of victimis and I like this, it's something I don't like in this kind of museums. There is a but. Of course the story telling is the view of the country victim, and there's no way it could be different, but the Armenians are represented always as 100% good and Turks as 100% evil. I suppose that in wars there are some "greys areas", totally not represented here. And the story is represented as contrast between ethnicities, a point of view that in some way justify that (stupid, horrible) way to think about people, countries and communities. It's a missed opportunity to witness against every genocide and the cruelty of every murder, every war, every discrimination of persons depending from their ethnicity, religion, origin, genre, behaviour and wathever. In any case, a terrible story.
It is the first place to go. All Armenians fell honored when they see people visit. The museum has very sad heart bracking pictures.
The name says it all. It covers what happened in late 19 teens in 50 information boards and lots of pics, videos and other displays.
It isn't what you would call objective but it's informative. I took about 90 minutes from start to end and that seemed a good timeframe.
It's not the easiest to take in but think it's important to read about it.
A must-visit in Armenia. The museum is extremely well-done and has exhibits in English. Expect to spend at least an hour here.
Another place to visit in Armenia. Holds trees planted by diplomats who came here to pay homage to those lost in the genocide incident.
Quiet disturbing But good to know the facts and how was it during those times.
The museum is very informative and really really well done. I'd say it's a must see if you're in Armenia for the first time. Plus the view from the top is stunning
Essential for tourists to visit. As a genocide museum it's educational but also not overbearing. Be sure also to walk through the garden to read the messages sent by world leaders and other important people. The memorial is also very beautiful. It's difficult to access and taking a taxi might be the best way, although it is possible to walk up on foot.
Inspired by Kim Kardashian's itinerary, I followed suit and was really glad. Very simple but quite profound.
