Aram Khachaturian Museum
Museum Museum in Yerevan celebrating composer Aram Khachaturian
In Yerevan, the Aram Khachaturian Museum preserves the composer’s manuscripts, scores and personal effects; music lovers visit for exhibitions, occasional concerts and insight into Soviet-era Armenian composition.
The Aram Khachaturian Museum in Yerevan is a house-museum dedicated to the life and work of the 20th-century Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian. It preserves his manuscripts, personal belongings and archival material and serves as a focal point for study of Armenian musical history.
Exhibition rooms display original scores, letters, photographs and personal instruments, and the museum stages occasional small performances and lectures related to Khachaturian’s music. The displays are arranged to trace his career and artistic legacy rather than presenting a large archaeological or historical collection.
The museum was established to preserve Khachaturian’s archive and to present his work to the public after his death. Over time it has functioned as both a memorial and an active cultural venue for music education in Yerevan.
It is located in the city of Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, and is accessible from the central districts and public transport routes.
- Collections: Houses original scores, letters and personal effects of the composer, along with photographs and recordings that document his life and work.
- Concerts and events: The museum occasionally hosts small concerts and recitals in a dedicated room used for musical events and educational programming.
