The National Gallery of Armenia, located on Yerevan's Republic Square, offers a sweeping journey through Armenian art history, from ancient frescoes and illuminated manuscripts to works by 19th- and 20th-century masters like Martiros Saryan and Arshile Gorky. Its international wing features European paintings, including works by Dutch and Italian schools. Visitors can explore over 25,000 pieces spread across multiple floors, with rotating exhibitions that highlight both classical and contemporary Armenian artists. The gallery's architecture itself, part of the grand Government House complex, adds to the experience.
