Yerevan, the capital of Armenia and one of the oldest cities in the world, was founded in 782 BC, making it 29 years older than Rome. Its story begins with the fortress of Erebuni, built by King Argishti I and today the ancient ruins coexist in harmony with modern buildings and lively streets. The city is poetically called the "pink" capital, since most of its buildings are made of volcanic tuff in warm shades of pink that glow beautifully at sunset.

Yerevan enchants with its rhythm: by day it welcomes visitors with museums, parks and landmarks, while by night it transforms into a vibrant hub of cafés, restaurants and clubs. A walk through its streets reveals the city's unique spirit, where antiquity and modernity intertwine at every turn.

At its heart lies Republic Square, where from May until mid-autumn the spectacular dancing fountains perform a symphony of water and light to classical and contemporary music. Another emblematic spot is the Cascade complex, from which sweeping views of the city and the majestic Mount Ararat unfold. The panorama is especially breathtaking in the evening, when city lights create a magical atmosphere.

Yerevan is not only a historic capital but a living organism, filled with energy, warmth and hospitality. A visit to Armenia's capital always leaves vivid memories and a longing to return.

Honored Artist of the Republic of Armenia and recipient of the "Movses Khorenatsi" medal, Lusik Aguletsi left behind a priceless legacy that preserved an entire world of Armenian traditions. A collector, writer and ethnologist, she was the only woman of her time who consistently appeared in public wearing the national taraz, turning each appearance into a living reminder of Armenia's ancient cultural beauty.

Throughout her life, Aguletsi gathered and safeguarded more than a thousand unique artifacts – from ornamented belts and jewelry to traditional costumes and carpets – dedicating her heart and energy to this mission. Today, her house-museum in Yerevan seems to bring the past to life, inviting visitors to step into the authentic atmosphere of old Armenia.

The interiors breathe history: every object bears the mark of its master, every detail tells a story of past aesthetics and daily life. The museum's special charm is enriched by Lusik's own paintings, created in her distinctive style and carrying forward the tradition of folk art. Everything here reflects her devotion to her roots and her love for Armenian culture.

A visit to the museum is more than an exhibition – it is a journey into a world where traditions awaken and turn into the poetry of objects.
