HISTORY MUSEUM OF ARMENIA is a must visit attraction in the capital city
Apr 2022
HISTORY MUSEUM OF ARMENIA is situated in Republic Square in Yerevan, Armenia (and shares the nice building with the National Gallery of Armenia), is founded in 1920, has a collection of about 400.000 objects, and has many departments (Archaeology, Ethnography, Numismatics, Modern History and Restoration).
The History Museum of Armenia houses interesting collections from the past (e.g. a collection of 3rd and 2nd millennium BC bronze items, or a collection of Miletian, Greek-Macedonian, Seleucid, Parthian, Roman, Sasanid, Byzantine, Arabic, and Seljuk coins circulated in Armenia).
We have visited the History Museum of Armenia (there is a small entrance fee) and we have gained insights in the history of Armenia [e.g. 782 BC inscription about the foundation of Yerevan (Erebuni), or finds from the archaeological sites of Garni, Artashat and Oshakan (transformation of Hellenistic Culture in Armenia), etc.].
We found our visit to the History Museum of Armenia very interesting and informative and we suggest it both for the history-lovers and for cultural tourists who want to shed more light in the historic course of this ancient nation in Caucasus region.

Bronze Age exhibition is fantastic
Jan 2020 • Solo
Great museum, especially the section dedicated to the Bronze Age. So comprehensive!
There were a few times that I was confused with the order of the exhibitions -this may have just been me walking the wrong way through the exhibits...
The only let down was the section on the Soviet Occupation-there was no English language information in that one section.
Otherwise-this museum is really interesting.

The Best Museum
Nov 2019 • Solo
This is the best museum that I had visited so far. Highly recommended even to those who aren't so interested with museums as this one you could trace the history, culture and tradition not only of Armenia but the humankind.Collections from prehistoric times (Stone Age) till our days.There are guides who could of help otherwise they have signs in English though some don't have translations. STRICTLY NO PHOTOS INSIDE, every corners have cameras and museum attendants are all over to ensure no one could ever take a single snap and also they will guide you on the right direction throughout museum.

Closed for renovation
Jul 2021
July 2021 - Unfortunately it was closed even though the notice on the entrance stated open from 10am to 6pm - went 3 times on 3 different days of the week and still closed.

luckily they do have some amazing historic details outside just at the entrance - that gives a peak to the history and very well detailed with relevant statues etc., (almost all were copies)

Only a few exhibits opened and mildly interesting
Jun 2022 • Solo
Only a couple of halls are open which is disappointing, but at least it’s half-price - 1000 drams- for that reason. (Unlike the national gallery which is full price despite the same issue!) I didn’t find the adoration exhibit all that interesting but some artifacts on the history of Artashat appealed to me. Wifi in the museum, photos allowed.

Amazing artefacts
Oct 2017 • Couples
The third floor holds all the prehistoric finds from hundreds of graves, we felt like being transported to the Kings Valley in Egypt. And you will find all exhibits with also English explanantions, such a rich culture and history!

History Museum of Armenia

The museum includes 400,000 objects presented in four departments.
Archaeology
Ethnography
Numismatics
Documents
The museum gives a thorough picture of the ancient times. In line with that, Armenia’s culture from pre-historic times up to the present days is introduced. The museum’s collection is beyond a doubt a rare one with traces of such eastern countries in the Armenian Highland as Egypt, Assyria, Byzantine Empire and so forth. 3rd-2nd millennia BC bronze specimens are presented in the museum.

Great history of Armenia
Jul 2016 • Family
Definitely if you visit Yerevan, you have to visit the republic square. The history museum is located there. The entry fee is reasonable, but cameras are not allowed. The history of Armenia goes back to thousands of years B.C.. I was impressed with the oldest cart and the oldest leather shoe, in addition to the silver and gold accessories. So don't miss it.

A walk through time
Jun 2012 • Business
This museum on Republic Square is logically organized from the earliest times in Armenian history to very recent events. There is very little in the way of English signs until you reach the rooms dealing with the 1850s and later.
The National Art Gallery is located on the top 2 or 3 floors of this building but has a separate admission fee.
