Plan Your Visit
Welcome
The Armenian Museum presents the largest and most diverse collection of Armenian objects outside of the Republic of Armenia. Our updated galleries include ancient Urartian artifacts, medieval manuscripts, Kütahya ceramics, textiles, liturgical objects, and contemporary art. Through an active special exhibition and events program, we provide new experiences for returning visitors as well as those who are new to Armenian culture and history.
We aspire to tell the story of the Armenian people through objects in the collection and to promote awareness and appreciation of the culture in engaging and dynamic ways.
