Avetik Isahakyan

This sculpture in the courtyard of the Isahakyan house-museum carries its own official standing, listed separately among Gyumri's immovable historical and cultural monuments rather than counted as mere museum decoration. It went up in 1975.

Beyond the date and the listing, little else about it is documented — no sculptor's name, no record of an unveiling. What's on file is simple: a monument, a courtyard, a year.

If you're at the house-museum tracing Isahakyan's life and work, the sculpture is a natural stop on the way in or out, not a separate trip.

Gyumri, in Shirak region, lies roughly 90 km northwest of Yerevan. The sculpture stands within the grounds of the Avetik Isahakyan house-museum, so it's reached through the museum itself.
