During the standard city tour, we drive up to the Matenadaran building, view it from the outside, and take photos with its monumental statues. Visiting the museum's internal exhibition requires extra time (about 1-1.5 hours), and the entrance ticket is paid separately. If you wish to visit the museum, please inform us in advance, and we will adjust the program.
