Museum of Literature and Arts

The Museum of Literature and Arts carries the name of the poet Yeghishe Charents and has operated for close to a century. Its holdings cover literature, theater, music and film from the 18th century to more recent decades, gathering archives of major figures in those fields along with material tied to the cultural and educational institutions they worked in.

One exhibition, "Art of the Middle East," centers on the collection of Markos Grigoryan, an Armenian-American painter credited as a founder of earth art. He gave the collection, around 2,500 original pieces, to Armenia in 1993.

The museum has a restroom on site and is listed as suitable for children.

The museum sits in Yerevan itself, roughly 0 km northeast of the city center by straight-line distance — in other words, it's within the city.
