Ara Sargsyan's section features sculptures, photographs from his student years, gifted materials, and his theatrical and graphic designs. His art represents a fusion of national and European influences, blending traditional and modern elements with monumental grandeur and emotional expression. Hakob Kojoian's works, displayed on the second floor, include paintings, graphic art, personal belongings, and handicrafts. Kojoian's art is characterized by its sharp language, expressive forms, and delicate colors, reflecting his deep appreciation for Armenian nature and history. Visitors can explore the artists' working rooms and view a variety of their creations, including sculptures, paintings, graphic designs, and theatrical accessories. The museum also features a garden with sculptures, including medieval khachkars and monumental works by Ara Sargsyan. A memorial monument dedicated to both artists stands at the entrance, featuring bronze busts set in arched niches. The museum not only preserves the artistic heritage of Sargsyan and Kojoyan but also offers a broader understanding of Armenian art and culture in the 20th century.
