Charents Museum of Literature and Arts Museum

The Charents Museum of Literature and Arts in Yerevan is a cultural institution focused on Armenian literature and the arts, named for the poet Yeghishe Charents. It preserves manuscripts, archival material and personal effects related to Charents and other significant Armenian literary figures.

Exhibits typically include original documents, letters and items that relate to 20th-century Armenian writers and artists, and the museum functions both as an exhibition space and an archive for researchers. Programming can include temporary exhibitions and literary events tied to Armenian cultural history.

The museum occupies a location in central Yerevan and serves both local visitors and scholars interested in Armenian literature and cultural heritage. It is part of Yerevan’s network of museums dedicated to national arts and letters.

• Collections: Houses manuscripts, personal papers and archival material connected with Yeghishe Charents and other Armenian writers and artists.

The museum is in central Yerevan; it is walkable from Republic Square or a short taxi ride from other central landmarks. Local buses and marshrutkas serve routes through the city centre.
