I visited the Hovhannes Shiraz House Museum in Gyumri. My impressions were the most vivid!
The museum is located on Gorky Street and is open from Tuesday to Sunday. The only thing worth considering is that the opening hours vary slightly by day: from 10:00 to 17:00 on Wednesday and Saturday, until 18:00 on Tuesday, and on Sunday until 16:00.
The main advantage of this place is the amazing tour guide Narine Khachatryan. She not only tells about the poet's life, but also masterfully combines his biography with poetry reading. In 45 minutes, you really feel like you've been transported back in time and you're living the life of Shiraz with him.
The museum has a rich collection: personal belongings of the poet, his desk, photographs from different periods of his life, as well as works of art created by his sons. All the exhibits create a very soulful atmosphere.
Practical details:
The entrance fee is 1000 AMD
The tour duration is about 45 minutes
The museum is located in the city center
The tours are conducted in Armenian and Russian
, which is one of the advantages.:
A professional and enthusiastic tour guide
Cozy homely atmosphere
Rich exposition
Convenient location
Of the cons:
Few exhibits
Limited working hours
I definitely recommend you to visit, especially if you are interested in Armenian poetry and culture. This place allows you to truly immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the great poet's life.
5 out of 5 stars - a must-visit place in Gyumri!

A great museum, I recommend it! And the most suitable guide of the current ones is the granddaughter of O. Shiraz's own sister. I recommend.

The museum is small, but the building is very beautiful, and it will be interesting for fans of Armenian art.
