Very well-organized and consistent. Does not require a guide, each floor is equipped with relevant reading extracts. Recommend for a 1,5-2 hour tour, Saroyan’s art and life is rich and peculiar, and the museum is very nice

Our acquaintance with the museum happened on the last day of our trip to Yerevan and it was an incredibly pleasant point of the whole trip.
We recommend everyone to get acquainted with this place with a guided tour, where the amazing girl Anastasia will immerse you not only in the world of Saryan, but also in the entire history of Armenia.
Anastasia is really a master of her craft, she led us with such love and interest that time flew by unnoticed, and it felt like she had lived a lifetime!

Arthur is an amazing tour guide with deep knowledge of the artist's life and work, and humor. It was a pleasure to spend 2 hours in the museum. All employees love their job and are friendly. And the museum's exposition itself is very interesting and diverse: from photographs and early works of the artist to household items and interiors of the house.
Thanks! We'll come back again

I really liked the museum because I had the opportunity to walk quietly and calmly through the almost empty halls, stand by the paintings as much as I wanted and immerse myself in the context of Saryan's work without crowds of tourists.
There are small explanations in all languages in the halls describing the paintings and the author's biography. I advise you to read them carefully in order to understand the conditions in which Saryan lived and worked, how his style changed, and so on.
The tour must be booked in advance, we were told we couldn't do it day in, day out, but quiet walks through the halls also had their own charm.

The museum is for those who love painting. On the ground floor there are memorial rooms of the artist. The exhibition tells about the life and creative path of the master and his sons (one is a composer, the other is a philologist). The halls feature paintings from different creative periods.

A small museum about a big man! The artist lived a long and interesting life, tried and searched for his own style. Fabulous watercolors have sunk into my soul! Of course, I would like to have more paintings in the house museum. Nevertheless, I had a lot of fun!

For me, this is the main museum in Yerevan. Martiros Saryan is one of the most famous talented people in Armenia, whose work will be interesting and useful to everyone. The atmosphere in the museum is comfortable and homely.

A wonderful museum of one of the best artists of the twentieth century. The museum is not very big (which is good), you can look at it without hurrying anywhere. In addition to the paintings, details of Saryan's everyday life and daily life are recreated.

Thanks to the guide Arthur for the excellent story about the great Martiros Saryan! As a novice artist, I was pleasantly surprised by Arthur's ability to clearly and in simple language tell about the life and work of this famous master. Arthur is well versed in the factual material and the ability to present it intelligibly. I will be happy to recommend it to my friends
Good luck, peace and see you soon!

I did not expect that I would like this museum so much! It will be interesting, even if you have never heard of Martiros Saroyan (or, like me, confused him with William Saroyan). I highly recommend taking a guided tour: It's not expensive at all, but your trip to this museum will become much more meaningful! And if you are lucky and Anastasia will be your guide, then I guarantee that two hours will fly by unnoticed, you will leave the museum in a great mood and even, perhaps, with a rush to read or watch something else about Saryan!

It's an amazing place. History, many facts and personal belongings of the artist. It was interesting to hear, there was a guide-a young man, unfortunately, did not remember the name, told everything very interestingly.

The Martiros Saryan House Museum is an incredibly beautiful place! And this is not just an exhibition, but a living space where the presence of a great artist is felt.
On the ground floor, where Saryan lived and received guests, the atmosphere of his time has been preserved: furniture, household appliances, carpets, beds..... Everything is as it was then.
It is possible to pick up the phone and hear the voice of the master reading the poem.
"The museum building consists of a two-storey mansion in which the artist lived and worked in 1932-1972, and a three-storey gallery attached to it, erected in 1967. "(c)
The paintings literally glow, conveying warmth, the soul of the master and his Armenia.
Some paintings come to life thanks to ARLOOPA technology, allowing you to become an observer of the history of paintings.
For visually impaired visitors, there are smaller copies of canvases that can be touched in order to experience Saryan's art more deeply.
The descriptions are presented in three languages — Armenian, Russian and English.
I want to come back here again. I recommend it to everyone who loves art and beauty!
This is a place where everyone will find something special, warm and bright for themselves.

Attendance is 1,500 drams per person. Movement through the museum from the top 3 floors and below. This is his former home. There is also information about his son, a musician. Paintings are on display, and it is possible for blind visitors to receive information. Preferably for a visit.

Must-visit😊
Unfortunately, before visiting the museum, I was not familiar with the artist's work, but this did not prevent me from getting aesthetic pleasure and enjoying incredible talent. If possible, it is better to visit with an excursion, but even without it, each painting has descriptions, as well as the caretakers answer all questions. Thousands of details in the former residential part of the house and studio. There is also a wonderful souvenir shop at the museum.

Our Great Artist is presented very competently and beautifully. The guide is a professional in his field, competent speech, an interesting story. It is impossible not to get aesthetic pleasure from coming into contact with the Great Warp and contemplating and absorbing Saryan's paintings. Many thanks for the emotional inspiration that I received. And an important point is that the guide loves Saryan so much herself that she was able to tell 7 children about him so colorfully, who listened attentively and deeply penetrated into this world of wonderful creativity.

You can fully see and feel Armenia only by visiting this museum and looking at Saryan's paintings with your own eyes. Not a single best reproduction, not a single book with the best illustrations can convey the brightness and saturation of his canvases. The museum itself is modern, informative, everything is convenient and thoughtful.

I'll start with the positive. The exposition is magnificent, undoubtedly any connoisseur of painting is obliged to visit this wonderful house museum. Now about the unpleasant, studying the works of the early period of the master, without noticing it, I was carried away by the story of the guide who conducted the tour in parallel. Apparently I got too close, to which I received a question, did I pay for the tour? To my confused reply, uh, that unfortunately I didn't pay, I was told in that case I can't listen…All my enthusiasm for the beautiful works was irrevocably spoiled at that moment…Please note that the halls are small and it is almost impossible to constantly ensure that you are at the maximum distance from the guide, being fascinated by the beautiful works of Martiros Saryan. Apparently, Arthur, that's the name of the guide, has just started his journey as a guide to the world of art and does not yet understand how unpleasant his words were. Nevertheless, the young man tells a very interesting and heartfelt story, so I will not unnecessarily condemn his tactlessness and wish Arthur creative success, and the house museum more visitors!

A wonderful museum, an excellent exposition, intuitive, there are several stands for the visually impaired, labels in Armenian, English and Russian. Annotations are posted on each floor in each hall, so that you can get enough information for an independent visit. There is a small souvenir shop, I would like more goods in it). A website with available information on time and prices.

An excellent museum, cozy, everything is decorated with taste. Friendly staff, I learned a lot about the paintings from the caretaker of the hall, plus there is more information about the artist and descriptions of the works on A4 sheets in three languages: Russian, English and Armenian. And the works themselves, of course, cannot be described in words, you just need to see it.

I went without a guide, but in all the halls there is information about paintings in different languages. It is very convenient and informative. The hall in the photo is a workshop. The paintings are wonderful. But I really liked the film, how an artist creates a picture in real time, and even with the music of the artist's son.

I stayed there for so long, I didn't want to leave, it's just great that it's just an art gallery, and the house is a museum. There is his workshop and rooms with a sofa interior, sideboard, piano and carpets. It is a very inspiring place and the artist's works are striking in beauty and have also made paintings for the visually impaired👍🏼
