The works of Hovhannes Tumanyan, the great Armenian poet, captivate with their simplicity and depth, understood by everyone regardless of age, nationality, or time. His writings became part of the nation's soul and the title "All-Armenian Poet" remains a well-deserved symbol of people's love.

On the slope of a hill in Yerevan stands the Tumanyan Museum, housing hundreds of manuscripts, translations, rare documents and illustrations to his immortal tales. Its exhibitions lead visitors into a world inhabited by Tumanyan's characters – wise elders, humble peasants, children, animals and magical beings who come alive on the pages of his works.

A striking detail awaits at the entrance: 54 steps symbolizing the years of the poet's life, as though the path to his world begins with a journey through his destiny. In the museum's halls one can feel the breath of a poetic universe, where every object preserves a fragment of his personality. Here his verses echo, speaking of eternal values – kindness, justice, love for the homeland.

The atmosphere fills the heart with warmth and pride, for Tumanyan succeeded in turning the people's word into immortal art. Visiting the museum is not just an encounter with literature, but with the living spirit of Armenian culture.
