Nice museum and technology room
The factory looks old and bot welcoming at first, but the team makes it exciting and very interesting. We’ve seen the production room, the museum and the events room with the shop. Learnt a lot and really want to buy a carpet now, so be careful :)

A great experience for anyone interested in armenian artisanry as well as history
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit at the museum. We got to witness the different steps of manufacturing a handmade armenian carpet and learned about how the turbulent armenian history influenced the company and the traces it left which can be seen in some of the historical (up to 400 years old) carpets. Our tour guide was competent and all staff were very nice and helpful. Even though we had to wait a little for the next tour, as we had shown up unannounced, we got to pass the time with some complimentary coffe and tea ^^. Overall i can wholeheartedly recommend the museum for anyone interested in armenian history, historical carpets as well as artisanry in general.
