Reading the Earth through its collections
Mineral colours and crystal forms offer a vivid way into the story of the Earth. The museum’s collections explore mineralogy, rocks, volcanism and palaeontology, with attention to Armenia’s natural resources.
Founded in 1937 through Hovhannes Karapetyan’s initiative, the museum brings scientific collections closer to visitors. Rocks and fossils invite you to imagine the long processes that shaped the landscapes around us.
