EmailArmenian institutions have existed in the Holy Land since the third century, when the country adopted Christianity. The present day Armenian community is largely descended from refugees who fled the 1915 massacres, as well as monks and seminarians. The museum displays Armenian art, ceramic tiles and religious artefacts, and books printed on the first printing press set up in Jerusalem. You will gain an overview of the rich history of this ancient community. The museum gift shop offers posters and recordings of the world-famous Armenian Patriarchate Choir. There is a small entrance fee.
