The museum houses a vast collection of artifacts, variety of bronze objects, such as weapons, jewelry, dating back to the Stone Age. Exhibits cover everything from Armenia's earliest civilizations to its modern-day independence.
The museum also features the world's oldest known leather shoe-The Areni-1 Shoe dated back to 3500 BCE. Another highlight of the museum is the collection of ancient artifacts from the Kingdom of Urartu.
The History Museum of Armenia is a must-visit for anyone interested in learning about the country's rich and complex history and it is situated at Republic Square.
The museum is well maintained and every artifact is well labeled in English. The ticket price is 2500 AMD (~$6) and English speaking guides are available. We opted for a guide because I was a bit curious about history and I wanted to grasp as much knowledge as I can. The guide was nice.
I have deducted one star as half of the museum was under renovation but it had given me a lot.

History Museum of Armenia showcases a wide range of rooms, periods and interests. The highlight for us was the Aïvasovsky rooms!
A museum and art gallery although two separate entries are required both included with the Yerevan cars which can be bought from an office at the side of the building.
Everything was good the staff was friendly but this room staff on floor 4 next to this picture attached was literally waving me bye that it seems like I came twice she wanted to say I am not welcomed here to see pretty unpleasant, I should have taken photo of her but I don’t want her to be on public platform but I hope management will notice it, thank you
The most popular place in Armenia. there’s a lot foreigners travelling at Summer time. A lot policemen walking around here. I have been here for twice. The people very friendly.
Unfortunately there was a major renovation when we went there and there were only 2 halls open for viewing. Even so, the museum offered a lot of ancient artifacts to see and enjoy. We spent about an hour and could easily spend more.
Tickets were very affordable and with huge discounts for kids. General admission was roughly $2.5 if I remember it t correctly.
Also location is perfect, right in the heart of Yerevan. Parking might be an issue but you can take subway and arrive in 3 minutes on foot from there.
