Treasures of the National Gallery of Armenia
With a magnificent art collection of over 40,000 holdings, the National Gallery of Armenia is renowned globally.
The gallery’s collection includes ancient Greek and European art, as well as paintings, sculptures, and other works by giants of Armenian art such as Martiros Saryan, Karzou, Jansem, and Hakob Hakobyan.
Comprising 55 exhibition rooms as well as departments of restoration, preservation, and digitization, the gallery also has the distinction of being the holder of the world’s second largest Aivazovsky collection.
The National Gallery of Armenia continues to digitize its holdings and make them available on its website, at gallery.am.
After the gallery was renovated in the early 2000s with the support of the Lincy Foundation, the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund built a boiler room and installed a central-heating system at the facility, in order to ensure the maintenance of a stable temperature for the priceless artworks.

Armenian FOOD & WINE TOUR on SARYAN WINE STREET + Sightseeing | Yerevan, Armenia
My first day in Armenia continued with more exploration of the capital city of Yerevan! Come along with me as I go on an amazing Armenian food and wine tour and go sightseeing in Yerevan!
Armenia Travel:
Lusine:
My adventure started at the Mother Armenia statue. She is located at a viewpoint where you can see the entire city and Mount Ararat, which is located in Turkey and is where Noah’s Ark landed.
Neaby is the Eternal Flame. It’s dedicated to the people who lost their lives in World War II. Armenia was part of the Soviet Union at the time. The views over the city are beautiful!
My guide, Gayane, showed me Victory Alley, the alley dedicated to the heroes of WWII. There are big plaques made of volcanic rock called tuff. On the plaques, the names of the heroes are inscribed in both Armenian and Russian.
There’s also lots of Soviet machinery, including a huge divisional gun, a fighter jet, a missile, and a cannon.
From there, we drove a bit and stopped at a statue of Alexander Tamanian, an architect known for his work in Yerevan. There’s also an incredible monument called Cascade, which was made to look like a stone waterfall. There’s also a unique lion sculpture made of tires and a statue of a chubby Roman warrior by Colombian artist Fernando Botero from 1985.
The Cascade has 572 steps and is made of travertine, a type of limestone. There are also beautiful fountains and sculptures there! It’s an empty, calm area that’s free of tourists. You can take escalators to the top and see more plazas, artwork, and fountains along the way. You can get epic views of Yerevan from the top!
Then, we headed to Republic Square and Northern Avenue, where there are lots of restaurants, shops, and retail. There’s a car there that’s also a souvenir shop! Lots of people sign the car, so I did as well.
All around us were beautiful buildings made of orange and rose tuff stone. They included government buildings and the National Gallery. The fountains there dance with the music. Then, we headed to Saryan Street for dinner and wine!
The first wine place that opened there is In Vino. You can buy and drink wine there. One Wine Days, they shut down the street and have a festival! They have Old World, New World, and Armenian wines.
I tried the Alluria, which is made from 2 Armenian grapes. It wasn’t sweet but was very different and had a good body. It was strong and I liked it a lot!
Next, we headed to Wine Time Restaurant. I started with a lighter, delicious, semi-sweet Voskevaz wine. Then, we started with beet root paste with chips, fig paste, grilled peppers with tomato, and dolmas. Dolmas are beef and rice wrapped in grape leaves.
The fig paste on the crispy bread was like a jam. I liked the beet root paste, too! Sour cream with the fig paste had a nice balance of sweet and salty. The dolma with sour cream had more beef than rice, which I liked a lot. Then, I tried eggplant and tomato with an Armenian sour cream called rejan. It’s a dense cream and isn’t too buttery.
I loved the flatbread with the beet root paste as well. It cracks easily, so you have to dig in to get it! Next was a better, drier Voskevaz wine and a delicious grilled tomato!
Next, we stopped at Armat Café Restaurant, an open-air restaurant/wine bar. I had another super strong, full-bodied wine as a nightcap!
I hope you enjoyed coming with me on my Armenian food and wine tour in Yerevan! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave a comment. Also, please subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food adventures!

Genocide-centenary Exhibition at Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute
(Armenian-language video. For the English version, visit
Following two and half years of renovations, the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, in Yerevan’s Tsitsernakaberd Memorial Complex, reopened on April 24, 2015, with a large-scale exhibition dedicated to the centenary of the Armenian Genocide.
The renovated museum features 12 new galleries and never-before-seen artifacts. Photos of 1915’s death marches and the new eyewitness exhibition are juxtaposed with images of Armenian intellectuals who were massacred during the Genocide. In addition to photos of eyewitnesses who survived the carnage, the exhibition includes some of their personal belongings, such as a bullet that was extracted from the chest of a survivor called Haykanush, who was shot by a Turkish soldier.
The museum’s thousands of visitors include travelers from abroad. One American couple has donated to the museum a tiny glass bottle filled with grains of rice, bought from an antique shop. In the aftermath of the Genocide, such bottles, each containing a daily ration for 750 children, were sent by Americans as donations to Near East Relief for feeding Armenian orphans.
The new exhibition features state-of-the-art technologies and display systems. They include audio guides in seven languages, separate galleries for viewing eyewitness stories, and touch screens on which visitors can explore Genocide photos and articles published by the international press.
Today the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute is two and half times its original size, featuring a considerably expanded collection of eyewitness testimonies, documents, and artifacts.

Yerevan,Erivan:
Yerevan (sometimes spelled Erivan is the capital and largest city of Armenia as well as one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities. Situated along the Hrazdan River, Yerevan is the administrative, cultural, and industrial center of the country. It has been the capital since 1918, the thirteenth in the history of Armenia, and the seventh located in or around the Ararat plain.
The history of Yerevan dates back to the 8th century BC, with the founding of the fortress of Erebuni in 782 BC by king Argishti I at the western extreme of the Ararat plain. Erebuni was designed as a great administrative and religious centre, a fully royal capital. By the late ancient Armenian Kingdom, new capital cities were established and Yerevan declined in importance. Under Iranian and Russian rule, it was the center of the Erivan Khanate from 1736 to 1828 and the Erivan Governorate from 1850 to 1917, respectively. After World War I, Yerevan became the capital of the First Republic of Armenia as thousands of survivors of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire arrived in the area. The city expanded rapidly during the 20th century as Armenia became part of the Soviet Union. In a few decades, Yerevan was transformed from a provincial town within the Russian Empire to Armenia's principal cultural, artistic, and industrial center, as well as becoming the seat of national government.
With the growth of the economy of the country, Yerevan has been undergoing major transformation as many parts of the city have been the recipient of new construction since the early 2000s, and retail outlets as much as restaurants, shops, and street cafés, which were rare during Soviet times, have multiplied. As of 2011, the population of Yerevan was 1,060,138, just over 35% of the Republic of Armenia's total population. According to the official estimate of 2016, the current population of the city is 1,073,700. Yerevan was named the 2012 World Book Capital by UNESCO. Yerevan is an associate member of Eurocities.
Of the notable landmarks of Yerevan, Erebuni Fortress is considered to be the birthplace of the city, the Katoghike Tsiranavor church is the oldest surviving church of Yerevan and Saint Gregory Cathedral is the largest Armenian cathedral in the world, Tsitsernakaberd is the official memorial to the victims of the Armenian Genocide, and several opera houses, theatres, museums, libraries, and other cultural institutions. Yerevan Opera Theatre is the main spectacle hall of the Armenian capital, the National Gallery of Armenia is the largest art museum in the Republic of Armenia and shares a building with the History Museum of Armenia, and the Matenadaran repository contains one of the largest depositories of ancient books and manuscripts in the world. The neoclassical Republic Square is the center of the city and the monumental Cascade steps lead from the city center to Victory Park, home of a Luna Park and the statue Mother Armenia overlooking Yerevan.Wikipedia
Art Alive!
On June 14-19, 2018, U.S. Embassy Yerevan funded a week-long celebration of Armenian art and culture, called “Art Alive!” It allowed U.S. alumni in the field to show other arts professionals and the public, new ways to bring their collections to life and attract new audiences to their museums and galleries.

A weekend in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia
Yerevan is the capital of Armenia, a country located in the Caucasus, bordering Georgia, Turkey, Azerbaijan and Iran. It is largest city of Armenia as well as one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities.
In addition to this video, also check out my blog post 10 reasons why I fell in love with Yerevan, Armenia:
In this video, you will see Yerevan's most important sights and tourist attractions, including the following:
Republic Square can be considered the main square of Yerevan. The Government House, the History Museum and the National Gallery, the Marriott Hotel and several other government buildings are located on this huge square. Originally designed by Alexander Tamanyan in 1924, Republic Square is the favorite hangout of the locals. With its unique pink neoclassical buildings and the reflecting pool, Republic Square can easily be considered Yerevan’s architectural highlight. What I found remarkable about this square was the unified architectural style – all buildings share the same pink-ish and yellow-ish neoclassical design.
The Cascade is a staircase that connects Yerevan’s center (Kentron) with the Monument neighborhood. It consists of multiple levels and a total of 572 steps. Apart from its architectural magnificence, the Cascade offers sweeping views of the city and, on clear days, mighty Mount Ararat in the background.
The Cafesjian Center for the Arts is an arts museum located within the Cascade complex. It offers a variety of exhibitions and dozens of modern and contemporary sculptures by well-known international sculptors. The sculptures are scattered around Cascade Park, the green area in the lower section of the Cascade complex.
