The Museum of Folk Art in Armenia, named after Hovhannes Sharambeyan,

Its a bit of a walk out of the city centre and on the outskirts in a beautiful “tuff stone” building with gorgeous red stone and a lot of history

The entrance to the building right at the busy roundabout Khachatur Abovyan square

Sharambeyan is one of the great Armenian painters who played a great role in preserving and developing the folk art of Armenia

The ticket cost 1500dram 1 x adult

The objects in the museum were gathered from the 1930s and the museum was opened in 1978
