The name of Hovhannes Sharambeyan, Honored Art Worker of the Armenian SSR, is forever linked with the idea of preserving and reviving folk art. In 2011, when the Folk Arts and Crafts Center merged with the Sharambeyan Museum of Folk Art, a unique cultural hearth was born – the Sharambeyan Museum of Folk Arts.

Here, under one roof, Armenia's tangible and spiritual heritage is gathered like a living chronicle of traditions. More than 10000 exhibits reveal the mastery of the ancestors: the cold brilliance of metal, the strength of stone, the warm patterns of carved wood, the fragile beauty of ceramics, the delicacy of lace and embroidery and the eternal splendor of Armenian carpets. Each piece is not just an object, but a story told by the craftsman's hands and carried across centuries.

The center preserves the breath of ancient crafts while giving them new life, turning old techniques into sources of inspiration for the present. Its halls resemble workshops where the forgotten voices of blacksmiths, potters and weavers come alive again. Visitors walk across an invisible bridge that unites past and future.

The Hovhannes Sharambeyan Museum of Folk Arts is a house of memory and craftsmanship, where traditions continue to live, shining brightly in the modern world.
