Yerevan History Museum is one of the highest cultural and scientific centers in the Armenian capital and represents the cultural heritage of Yerevan.
Yerevan History Museum was founded in 1931 under the Yerevan Municipal Communal Department and was called the Communal Museum.
It occupied one of the rooms of the Volunteer Fire Company building (1930, architect: Nikoghayos Buniatyan, third floor: Anna Ter-Avetikyan) built on the current Andrei Sakharov Square. In 1936, it moved to the premises of the Persian Blue Mosque (Goy Jami, built by Yerevan Sardar Hussein Ali Khan in 1765-1766), where it remained until the 1990s.
In 1982, by the decision of the Yerevan City Council, the building of the Hripsimyan Gymnasium (6 Amiryan Street) was allocated to the museum. Due to long-term renovations, the museum was moved here only in 1994 and remained there until 1997, then it was moved to the building of Stepan Shahumyan School No. 1 (33 Mashtots Avenue) and stayed there until 2005.
Since 2005, the museum has been operating in the Yerevan Municipality building (Argishti 1), where a separate area has been allocated to the museum (Argishti 1/1).
The architects of the building project Jim Torosyan, Romik Martirosyan, the constructor Henzel Hakobyan and the developer Gagik Galstyan (posthumously) were awarded the RA State Prize in 2007.
The members of the museum's scientific council were the greatest intellectuals of the time: architects Alexander Tamanyan, Toros Toramanyan, Nikoghayos Buniatyan, Mikayel Mazmanyan, painters Martiros Saryan, Gabriel Gyurjyan, Taragros (Taragros Ter-Vardanyan), sculptor Ara Sargsyan, scientists Stepan Lisitsyan, Yervand Shahaziz, Sedrak Barkhudaryan, Babken Arakelyan, Tadevos Hakobyan and others.
The current exhibition of the Yerevan History Museum was opened to visitors on April 3, 2007. The museum's collection includes about 100,000 unique archaeological, ethnographic, numismatic, fine art, decorative-applied art works and documentary materials representing the entire process of the formation and development of the city, starting from ancient times to the present day.
The main exhibition is presented in the sections "The History of Yerevan from Ancient Times to the Late Middle Ages", "Yerevan in the 19th Century", "Yerevan from the End of the 19th Century to the Present Day".
The archaeological works exhibited in the museum represent the city's millennial history, ethnographic and household items give an idea of the everyday life, customs and values of Yerevan residents, and artistic and documentary materials reveal the developments in urban planning, art and public life.
The Yerevan History Museum is a center for preserving urban memory and a unique visiting card of Yerevan.

The Erebuni Historical and Archaeological Reserve-Museum was founded in 1968 on the occasion of the 2750th anniversary of the founding of Yerevan. It is an important Urartian research center of the region.
The Erebuni Historical and Archaeological Reserve-Museum was founded on October 19, 1968, to mark the 2750th anniversary of the city of Yerevan.
The reserve-museum was created on the basis of 3 famous archaeological sites located within the administrative boundaries of Yerevan: Arin Berd, Karmir Blur and Shengavit, and the material cultural values and finds discovered at these sites. The reserve-museum has 2 branches: the Shengavit early agricultural settlement on the shores of Lake Yerevan and the city of Erebuni, built by Rusa II in the southwestern suburbs of Yerevan, on the banks of the Hrazdan River, in the 7th century BC. The fortress city of Teyshebaini (Karmir Blur) was built in the mid-19th century. With its branches, it occupies an area of about 80 hectares.
The authors of the project of the Erebuni Museum building are architects Shmavon Azatyan and Baghdasar Arzumanyan, and the sculptor Ara Harutyunyan. It is the only archaeological reserve-museum in Yerevan and an important Urartian research center in the region.
The collection of the Erebuni Museum consists of more than 20,000 archaeological objects from the pre-Urartian, Urartian, Achaemenid, Hellenistic and early Armenian periods, discovered from the ancient sites of Arin Berd, Karmir Blur, Shengavit, as well as from random or regular excavations in different regions of Armenia, grouped into 160 collections.
The permanent exhibition of the museum presents the history of Urartu, its developed economy, architecture and fine arts, irrigation and fortification systems, construction techniques, wall painting, pottery and other material evidence testifying to the progress of the state in other areas.
