The house-museum of People’s Artist of the USSR Martiros Saryan (1880-1972) is located at 3 Saryan Street.
It consists of a private house and a museum section, which was opened on November 26, 1967, by a special decision of the Council of Ministers of the Armenian SSR, during the lifetime of the world-famous painter. The house-museum operates as a branch of the National Gallery of Armenia.
The private house, where the great master lived and worked from 1932 until the end of his life, was built in 1932 (architect: Alexander Tamanyan). The museum section was built according to Mark Grigoryan’s design in 1967. At the top of the main facade, in a rectangular niche, is a mosaic of Saryan's painting “Armenia” (executed by the famous artist Garnik (Garry) Smbatyan based on Saryan’s sketch). The building presents the painter's graphic works and canvases. The number of exhibits reaches 170.
From 2013 to 2016,
the house-museum underwent major renovations, and a fourth floor was built,
where concerts, exhibitions, seminars, presentations, and other events are
organized in the hall named after Ghazaros and Araksi Saryan. The “Saryan” art
studio operates in a separate hall.
