MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES

Yerevan Museum of Modern Art presents the key works of famous Armenian artists of the 1960s.

The Yerevan Museum of Modern Art was founded in 1972 by art historian Henrik Igityan with the support of Yerevan Mayor Grigor Hasratyan and famous Armenian artists. As a modern art museum, it was the first in the former Soviet Union.
