Tumanyan Matchbox Label Museum, Lori Province, Armenia
5.0 (5 reviews) Monday: Spent < 1 hour Ranking #1 in Tumanyan Speciality Museums • Art Museums
A lovely museum experience
Quirky little museum with thousands of matchbox labels on display. Too many themes to list, but you'll find many national costumes and town seals, public education labels, space images, and of course match themes. Great place to stop by for 20 minutes and learn about the design, history and art that was ubiquitous in the recent past, but is now nearly unknown. If you'd like to visit outside of regular hours, please call and make an appointment. However while entrance is free during regular hours, visits by appointment have a 1000 dram fee for opening the museum - which includes as many people as you have in your visit.

Unexpected and delightful
Didn’t expect to come across a matchbox museum, but we ended up diving into this micro reflection of the world and exploring cultures and art styles spanning time and place and it was a lot of fun. What a hidden gem... no pun intended but... it lit up our trip. We now have a super cool find to share with our friends.

So interesting
You'd probably never imagine the vast variety of matchbox labels produced through the years, but after a visit to this beautiful little museum you can begin to imagine. So many themes and great design that went into these little pieces of art. It's free, too, so no question it's worth a stop.
