Not far from the "Cascade Complex" and the "Victory Park", you will find the "Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts". It is a very important and dear museum to all Armenians, as it was named after Mesrop Mashtots, the beloved inventor of the Armenian Alphabet. An old and impressive church houses, since 1957, the museum. The Museum is the world's largest repository of medieval manuscripts, including the fantastic collection that once belonged to the Armenian Church and was kept at the famous "Echmiadzin Monastery", as well as other individual donations. From the tourist point of view, if you are not a scholar or a researcher, the building is much more impressive than the collection itself. Enjoy!…

It’s a great place to get a sense of the Armenian history, culture and connectedness to the world heritage. The best thing is that you get a lot of insights in a relatively short time. It’s not a big museum. It’s a working research institute with a small museum showcasing the most interesting examples. Take a guide. It’s absolutely worth your time and money. It’s an eye opener, even for Armenians. A must visit in Yerevan…
