Photos Yerevan Military Museum
The giant Mother Armenia monument towers over Yerevan, overlooking the city from Victory Park. The monument houses a small military museum that is well worth a visit for everybody who is interested in Soviet and World War II history. The main section of the museum is now devoted to the Nagorno-Karabakh War displaying personal belongings, weapons, and documents of participants, the walls decorated with portraits of National Heroes.
The Mother Armenia Monument can be reached by climbing the stairs or escalators of the Cascade and walk trough Victory Park. The museum interior is still very much in the post war style found in many buildings from the Stalin era. The World War II exhibition is demoted to the basement of the building making place for an exhibition about the Nagorno-Karabakh War. A woman had to escort us to the basement to switch the lights on and off in each exhibition room. The Nagorno-Karabakh exhibition shows a large collection of photos, portraits and works of art glorifying the soldiers and rebels that fought and died in the Nagorno-Karabakh War.
