Well Kept House Museum
Hovhannes Tumanyan House Museum in Dsegh is a splendid example of a well-kept and well curated house museum. There is an old woman who gives a free guided tour daily except during Mondays. The house museum contains a huge collection of the artist's photos, poems, and memorabilia. Very interesting to learn about the life and works of a famous Armenian artist.
