Great Treasure

Worth the visit.
I would highly recommend a visit to the Armenian Museum. It is beautiful ,well laid out, and interesting. The lovely woman at the front desk gave us a brief explanation of each exhibit and where we would find them. There is a combination of history and art, both historical and contemporary.

A gem!
The Armenian Museum is a gem, fairly small but packed with ancient history, recent history, a look at a fascinating culture, and contemporary art. Not to be missed. It is also located in Watertown Square, packed w very good restaurant choices, the ethnic fruit and grocery stores, and a short drive to Harvard Square.
