The Aram Khachaturian Museum in Yerevan stands as a monument to one of Armenia's most celebrated composers. Established in 1978, shortly after Khachaturian's death, the museum preserves and promotes his legacy through a rich collection of artifacts and exhibits. The composer himself was involved in the museum's design, ensuring it would be a fitting tribute to his life's work. The museum is located in the Kentron district, at 3 Zarobyan Street, in close proximity to the Constitutional Court. The building incorporates Khachaturian's former Yerevan residence, where he often stayed and worked. The original house has been preserved, with a two-story museum building added in the garden area. The facade features five striking arches, reminiscent of tuning forks, symbolizing Khachaturian's musical genius. Inside, visitors can explore a vast collection of over 18,000 items, including photographs, letters, manuscripts, books, and personal belongings. The exhibits detail Khachaturian's life, from his childhood to his international success. Highlights include his grand piano, conductor's coat and baton, and various awards and accolades. The museum also houses a concert hall with excellent acoustics, where regular musical events and concerts are held. A sound library offers visitors the chance to listen to recordings of Khachaturian's works and other classical music. The museum not only serves as a repository of Khachaturian's legacy but also actively promotes Armenian music and culture. It hosts festivals, commemorative evenings, and meetings with cultural figures. The museum also publishes scholarly books and supports the restoration of musical instruments.
