A neglected but really cool museum in a splendid Soviet building decorated with gorgeous frescoes, it's a real pity that this museum doesn't seem to have gotten any love or budget for decades. The collection is somewhat small but extremely well captioned in English, giving you a good insight into life in Urartu, and has some interesting objects.

The possibility to actually hike up the hill and see the ruins of the fortress makes it even better, but the ruins are defiled by graffiti and the explanatory signs sun-bleached.

There is potential here, but it's currently wasted. This museum reminds me of the fantastic "Museum of the Mausoleum of the Nanyue King" in Guangzhou, China, and I can only hope that in the future they can get the budget and expertise to learn from that museum and restore and elevate the Erebuni museum to the world-class potential it could have had.

This is worth a visit still, but it makes me sad to think how great it could have been.

With a world-class collection of awe-inspiring works in an equally awesome building, this is certainly a must-see in Yerevan. The manuscripts are presented without much context however, so the 5000 dram guided tour is worthwhile if you can afford it. Had the collection only been better presented, this could have been a museum of global renown.

Though the displays could need much more context, the items here are very impressive and definitely worth seeing if you like folk art.

This museum has a very good selection of minerals, but not enough information to provide the context necessary for a fulfilling museum experience. If you're lucky you might run into some passionate geologists however!

An underwhelming sight in a dark and grotty park, especially in comparison to the vibrant water-splashing fountain park next to it.
