The Yerevan History Museum is rightfully regarded as one of the city's main "calling cards". Its exhibitions reveal the centuries-long journey of a capital that, remarkably, is 29 years older than Rome itself.

The halls bring history to life: archaeological discoveries, ancient documents, household artifacts and works of art transport visitors through different eras, from the foundation of Erebuni to the modern metropolis. Carefully preserved here are the testimonies of Yerevan's growth – from early settlements and artisan workshops to the cultural and economic blossoming of the 20th century. Old maps, models, rare photographs and personal belongings of residents create an intimate portrait of the city.

The atmosphere of the museum unites past and present: one seems to hear the breath of vanished streets and the voices of generations who shaped the city. More than a chronicle of history, the museum fosters pride and a sense of belonging to an ancient yet ever-young capital.

It has become a cultural center where history transforms into a living dialogue with the present. Visiting the Yerevan History Museum means walking alongside the city through its centuries-old path and uncovering the secret of its eternal youth.
