About Aram Khachaturian Museum#
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.
