The Aslamazyan Sisters' House-Museum, established in 1987, is located in a historic 19th-century building that exemplifies Gyumri's unique architectural style. The building itself, once a residential home built by the Kesishov merchants in 1880, features a traditional Gyumri courtyard with tufa stone accents and a carved wooden balcony. The museum's collection includes over 620 original works gifted by the Aslamazyan sisters, encompassing paintings, graphics, and ceramics. Mariam Aslamazyan, a People's Artist of the USSR, is known for her decorative and colorful compositions, often depicting Armenian life, nature, and portraits. Eranuhi Aslamazyan, an Honored Artist of the Armenian SSR, created landscapes, still lifes, and portraits with subtle color transitions. Visitors can explore the sisters' artistic journey, from their studies at the Leningrad State Institute of Art History to their recognition as leading artists in Soviet Armenia. The museum not only celebrates their artistic achievements but also highlights their role in promoting gender equality in the arts. Some of Mariam Aslamazyan's works are also displayed at the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. The museum regularly hosts educational programs, art therapy sessions, and guided tours. It is part of the Kumayri Historical-Architectural Reserve and is a state-protected cultural heritage site.
