Only 1 floor was open when we went. Nonetheless they had a lot of craft and old jewelry from artashat that was interesting. For the price it’s a decent experience but nothing too fascinating, just old historical maps and artifacts. Maybe if we hired the guide it would’ve been more interesting.

Putting aside the amazing artifacts, the museum itself needs a great renovation! So do the staff! They are getting old and only the receptionists speak English. Anyway, I hope there were more seats provided for tourists to rest a bit when exploring such a big space. The order of rooms is ridiculous and you sometimes don't have a clue where you are ( I am speaking as a tourist visiting there for the first time, not someone who goes there regularly).
