Discover more about Aram Khachaturian Museum

The Aram Khachaturian Museum in Yerevan stands as a tribute to one of Armenia's most celebrated composers. Established in 1978, after Khachaturian's death, the museum's collection includes a vast array of items that chronicle his life and musical journey. These include manuscripts, letters, his piano, memorabilia, and personal gifts. The museum is housed in a building that was once Khachaturian's Yerevan residence, gifted to him by the government of Soviet Armenia in 1945. He cherished this house, using it as a base when visiting Armenia, to receive guests and to create music. The building was expanded to include a concert hall, fulfilling Khachaturian's wish to have a space where musicians from around the world could perform. The hall boasts a Bechstein piano. The museum's collection includes over 18,000 objects, with a core collection of around 13,000. Visitors can explore exhibits detailing Khachaturian's childhood, his musical education, and his relationships with other prominent figures in the world of music. The museum also houses a library with a collection of CDs and DVDs, and a workshop for restoring string instruments. In 2013, UNESCO added Khachaturian's handwritten manuscripts and film music to its “World Memory” program.
