When we saw the building we thought the museum would be huge, but it's only located in one wing. So the museum is quite small. The museum itself is ok and we had free entrance with Yerevan card

Armenia is one of oldest countries in the world, and History Museum is on mandatory list for people who are interested in how people lived in old times. Unique items are oldest known shoe of above 5000 age, horse wagons found in Sevan lake, a lot of ceramics of really big age. Museum is well organized. Ticket is not expensive, and you do not need more than 2 hours, but if you have time, could spend more. Main city square, so easy to find. We have been on morning excursion, and then asked our guide to drop us next to museum in the afternoon. Nice walk in the city center followed. You could organize your day differently, of cause.

No photographsof the exhabits were allowed. As a grandfather I like to take pictures to allow a visual aid for my grandchildren. Small museum, English signage.

This place has a world class collection of Bronze Age artefacts, carved stone statues, jewellery, ancient wooden wheeled wagons, fertility symbols, Urartian armour and weapons, carved tablets with ancient scripts including Aramaic which was Jesus s language and heaps more. It’s highly recommended for anyone visiting Armenia.

There are some interesting artifacts in this museum and they get points for having decent signage in English. The model of the city in the center of the ground floor is great. For me, however, the museum just does not quite cut it. It needs some decent curation. The best museums use their artifacts to tell stories, rather than just labelling what they are, when and where they were found. This museum does not succeed on that count. The perfect example of a small museum that does it well would be the Wiltshire museum in Devizes, UK. The way that museum uses a small number of artifacts to tell powerful and engaging stories about the past is masterful. Perhaps their curator should pay a visit to Yerevan. So... from my perspective, the Yerevan History Museum is worth a visit if you have time on your hands, but don't cut something else out of your itinerary to come here.

Consists of three floors, each being about 900 sq meters. Another museum where I felt unwelcome. Attendants hover over you like you're a shoplifter. I have to say I'm baffled by their behavior as my girlfriend is Armenian and her family and friends are the nicest people I have ever had the privilege to meet. So far every museum I have visited felt like they were still influenced by iron curtain.

Museum has a lot and very instresting pieces and artefacts but they didn bother to translate into ANY language most of the history of Armenia. You want to see old arrows, plates, etc etc, then go. If you want to understand history of armenia, will be impossilbe

I love to visit museums. I visited a lot of them around a world. It's one of the best Armenian museums. There you can see the good collection of the Armenian art.

The Yerevan history museum is much less of a museum than any of the ones I've seen thus far: The first floor contains interesting, if poorly explained archaeological finds mostly from 1-2nd millenia BC (and some older). The seriously interested would do better to visit the Historical and Erebuni museums to get a better picture. The following two floors are a not particularly systematic collection of memorabilia and period pieces mainly from 19th-20th centuries. There are a number of interesting maps and city plans worth seeing, an interesting display of silver jewellery (most of it NOT made in Yerevan, though). A city clock (actually made in Tbilisi, but with an interesting story attached) is definitely a gem.
In short, a place for a casual visit, if passing by (the NOY distillery is just next door). Worth its entry fee (500 AMD), but don't expect gaining much understanding of the city.

A very good presentation of the long history of Armenia and the armenian people. A systematic presentation that is both informative, fun and beautiful. I recommend at least three hours for this visit.
