Who knew if you go on an overnight train from Tbilisi, Georgia to Armenia you would wake up to an underrated destination in Eurasia/ the Southern Caucasus. I found my experience in the overnight train pretty interesting. I booked a sleeping compartment and had to share with one other person as a solo traveler. There is no female compartments, but I went with it. However I met a new friend and my worries were eliminated. . Next I woke up to a new country my 67th country @armenia.travel where I got to see a UNESCO World Heritage site, so a day trip with @getyourguide to explore Garni Temple, Gerghard Monastery, and see a hidden gem of basalt columns called the Symphony of Stones, that reminded me of the Giant’s Causeway in Ireland. . In three days and two nights I fit in a lot to try and learn more about Armenia. I visited the Armenian Genocide Museum and monument as well. Not only that I got to experience the Armenian National Ballet at the National Ballet and Opera Theatre. If you are looking to experience some art be sure to visit the Cascade Complex a massive staircase with 6 terraces filled with art, sculptures, and the @cca.yerevan.official before heading to watch sunset from the Memorial to the 50th Anniversary of October Revolution. . Armenia is filled with cool cafes, great food, and it felt safe traveling there solo. Fun facts about Armenia I learned. . 1) Yerevan is one of the oldest cities in the world. Founded in 782 BC. 2) Armenia has its’ own alphabet. 3) They say it is the first country to adopt Christianity. I didn’t know much about this region, but it truly made me want to go back to learn more and visit the many monasteries as well as Mt Ararat and Lake Sevan. . When you think of Armenia what do you think? For me I found it a place I for sure want to come back to visit more of. . This country is full of surprises and while it maybe small it has a lot to offer. Way more than I could fit in 3 days. .

The Armenian Museum is an important cultural institution and a great way to spend an afternoon learning about one of the world’s oldest civilizations. The museum is beautiful and modern inside. It is very well organized with informative and engaging exhibits across four floors with a large and varied collection that ranges from prehistoric artifacts, books and manuscripts, coins, jewelry, everyday items such as musical instruments, household goods and clothing, to modern day art highlighting the unique history of Armenia and contributions of Armenians worldwide. The exhibit on the second floor on the Armenian Genocide is a heartbreaking must-see. There are also several interactive stations as well as online exhibits accessible from home. Museum parking is available in a lot behind the museum. Entry fees are very reasonable with discounts for seniors and children available. The museum has exhibits on several floors and an elevator is available. Staff are very helpful and pleasant. A lovely gift shop is also located on the first floor with unique finds such as Armenian cookbooks, children’s books and games in Armenian, and jewelry. Highly recommend making the Armenian Museum of America a stop on your Boston area itinerary.

Spent a couple of hours taking in the variety of exhibits this museum had to offer. There is historic art on the first floor, information regarding the genocide on the second floor, and even modern art pieces on the third floor. This museum is great for folks who enjoy history, traditional Armenian art, and modern art. I easily found free parking around the block from the museum in a residential street. Highly recommended.

Its not a very big museum, but worth visiting. I visited on a Sunday and so had free parking in the municipal lot behind the museum. The exhibit about the Armenian Genocide was very moving. They have a nice shop that is reasonably priced.

Great museum! The staff was very friendly. Exhibits show the history and art of Armenia through the centuries, and one of the numerous brutal genocides committed by Turkey during the last century.
