Armenian Genocide Museum — Attraction in Yerevan

Second time there for me, still totally worthy. The museum itself it's a well structured path that can easily guide a complete ignorant foreigner through the history of an unknown country without feeling lost. But you have to take your time to read more than 30 quite long explicative paragraphs on the wall. I would really encourage that, because what's described there is the story of a premeditated genocide, something you read and you know it's supported by concrete proofs, but still you cannot believe could be truth. What I personally really appreciate it's the last room in which it's told about other genocides of the past or ongoing around the world. It's important to raise awareness that such brutal crimes could happen whenever and wherever. I would recommend to start the visit with the museum and then go outside to the memorial monument, if you follow this order it would be much more impactful experience. It's totally free by the way, not excuses...

This impressive museum captures the blood soaked history of Armenia where during 1915 to 1922, more than a million people were massacred by fanatic elements of Ottoman Empire, the photographs, documents, films and other authentic reports reflect the unprecedented human tragedy, the architecture and design is symbolic and have a meaning, the entry to the Museum is free and if any services of guide are hired, one has to pay, however all the exhibits and films have explanatory signages, the Memorial at the site is sums up with unforgettable experience. A must visit to understand the suppressed history of Armenia and understand the agony...

A must visit. The monument is very well constructed and set up well. From the monument, you get a birds eye view of the city.

Do take a moment to enter the museum run through the history of the genocide. It's heartbreaking but a story that needs to be told.

The write ups are very detailed and laid out in chronological order with images and videos. There is also an audio guide available.

We spent 2hrs here in total but could have easily spent more time.

Recommend going by taxi as it is long uphill...
