There are so many museums in Yerevan and this has been on my list for a while
The house-museum of the famous composer Aram Khachatryan, was founded in 1978. Created to keep the memory of Aram alive!
On the first floor there is the memorial house, library, offices. From the foyer, a winding staircase leads to the second floor, where 10 spacious and bright showrooms are dedicated to permanent display. On the second floor there is also a sound library and a concert hall.
The mansion has been preserved unchanged and the 2 storey museum was built around it and the inner courtyard has been preserved
presented to Aram Khachatryan by the Government of Soviet Armenia in 1947

Aram’s Residence in Yerevan
The one-story mansion (architect Mark Grigoryan) consisted of five spacious rooms and had garden near the house
The decision to turn this into a museum was made in 1976 during his lifetime so he actually got to see the designs and sketches of the idea and put his 2 cents in
Aram loved his apartment, his mother, brother and his family mostly lived here and he used to stop here when visiting the Motherland
