I was enthralled during my visit to this gem of a museum. The works range stylistically from the abstract to the more representational. It's a manageable collection - 90 minutes should take you through it. But I don't think I've been to a museum with such a high percentage of works that were moving, funny, or simply beautiful. After I finished, I revisited all my favorites on the way out, and expressed my gratitude with a contribution. Oh and it costs about $1USD, or $2USD if you want to take pictures (I took many!). There is a strong heartbeat and a deep soul in the nation that produced these works. Don't miss it!

The Modern Art Museum of Yerevan is a wonderful collection of modern Armenian artists with works mostly dating from 1930s into the 21st century. There are both paintings and sculptures. The work is lively and colorful and really quite energizing. We spent about 1 hour in the museum, but I bet you could spend 2 hours if you're having a slow day. The entrance fee is only 500 dram (about $1 US). Definitely a 5 star collection!
The entrance to the museum is fairly easy to find, but it is not extremely obvious. You will see large signs noting the museum at the corner of Martiros Saryan St and Mashtots Ave (see pix). Walking up Saryan St from Mashtos, you will see a small alley on the right (north) side of Saryan about 50 feet from the main intersection. The entrance to the museum is tucked down this alley about 20 feet (see pix). According to the smaller sign in front of the museum, it is open Tuesday-Sunday from 11am-6pm. However, the larger sign above street level says that it is open Tuesday-Saturday from 11am-4pm and Sunday from 11am-3pm. Note that the Modern Art Museum of Yerevan is NOT the same museum as the Eduard Issabekyan Gallery, which is located on the other side of Saryan St.

An excellent museum, not very big, one floor, with many pictures, some sculptures and a few other works. All of high quality, well exhibited. A very fine experience, well worth a visit. 500 AMD for adults plus 500 for permission to take photos. Combined it amounts to 2 US dollars.

Not a huge museum, but outstanding quality. 500 dram (~€1) entry, and a further 500 to takes photos. A good mix of Armenian modern art and sculptures. Takes about 30 minutes to look round. All at ground floor level in one extended room. Only fault was the lighting of art pieces could be improved

Good variety of great Armenian artists. I'm usually not a fan of Modern Art, but a lot of these works appealed to me. There is another exhibit hall across the alley in front of this museum and don't miss Eduard Isabekyan Gallery across Saryan street.

The price was 500 dram per person and 500 additional for taking photos. The art was absolutely amazing! Colorful and different. Definitely recommend to spend at least a good hour getting lost in this place.

I never visited an art museum where the upper levels were residency apartments. I mean the museum looks like a warehouse! And it is not obvious to find it if you don't know what you are looking for. Having said that there are some good pieces in there. Specially some Minas and Hagopian.
