I am extremely dissatisfied: the food is tasteless, the barbecue has huge bones, it is immediately clear that it is not young, cheap meat. I'd never seen a room without windows in my life, there was no air conditioning, I couldn't breathe, and my head ached all night from oxygen starvation. It was not a wedding hall, but a warehouse. I told everyone so that no one else would repeat our mistake. The score is minus 10.I put one star just so I could send a review, but I really appreciated it in the text.

An interesting and unusual place to visit. The story, the whole process, and the nuances were all told and shown. We answered absolutely all the questions. Excellent staff and, of course, a very difficult task - creating carpets manually. We really enjoyed it. This is probably the most memorable place for us in Yerevan.

This is the fifth time I have been to Yerevan, and I have only just learned about this unique place. I came alone, it turned out that I had to register in advance for the tour. It is more convenient because there is a Russian-speaking guide. But it turned out that I hadn't lost anything, and even I was lucky. The tour was individual and was conducted by its director Leonid. In Russian with an Armenian accent (and it was very authentic), I was professionally shown the process of creating carpets by hand. And what a magnificent collection of carpets is presented here, right, the eyes run away. Doors kept opening and opening in front of me, and behind them, carpets, carpets... These are just writings, stories depicted with the help of threads. Be sure to visit this place, you won't regret it.

A very cool carpet factory. We were lucky and the director Leonid gave us a tour. Thank him very much. I learned how carpets are made. The only impression was slightly spoiled by the guard, who at the end of the tour accused us of some kind of deception, that we wanted to go to the toilet in the restaurant (we didn't say anything like that), grumbled at us. He also mistreated the dog. I suggest we have a conversation with him.

I recommend. It is possible to visit only with a guided tour. Booking on the website in advance. The duration is only half an hour, but it's interesting. During the tour, you will be able to see various carpets, carpet dyes, tell the manufacturing technology, visit the workshop where the craftsmen weave carpets. The story of the carpet being cut in half has sunk into my soul very much. During the Armenian Genocide, the mother cut the carpet in half and gave it to her two daughters. In case they get lost, they will be able to find each other using these tips. And so it happened. The sisters were found 50 years later. And they gave these halves to the museum.

We signed up on the website for an excursion at a specific time (06.05 at 12.00), as a result, we did not get on it They came, waited 25 minutes at the checkpoint, the guard couldn't really say anything, just "wait, I called." After 25 minutes they just left, because it is unclear how much more they had to wait (and this is with a tour of only 30 minutes). At the same time, when the foreigners came, they were immediately taken on an excursion. The most strange place, the service is zero

We got to this factory-museum, which is called "from the street", without booking an excursion in advance, obviously violating the work schedule of the staff. Nevertheless, we were greeted as guests who, according to the canons of oriental hospitality, should not be denied anything. We were shown the painstaking work of the craftsmen, who for many months, without straightening, manually create real paintings from patterns filled with ancient magical meaning! It is amazing that in our time there are still crafts that cannot be replaced by any soulless machine labor! And then we were taken to the carpet museum, where each exhibit is more than 100 years old! Many are associated with family legends and even tragedies. The story about this is impressive! A very informative, unusual tour, I recommend it to everyone (just register in advance)!

What a touching story the carpet had, which was divided into two parts. The only thing I didn't like was the attitude of the employee, different prices are called for the same carpet.I was thinking of buying 8000 dollars for me and seven for my friends .That's why I changed my mind about taking it.Be vigilant, prices are taken from the head.

Stunning handmade carpets using ancient technologies made of natural wool with some natural dyes that do not fade for 500 years and can be passed down from generation to generation. Expensive. There is an interesting little museum. It's even worth just looking if you can't afford to buy or don't need to.

A workshop for the manufacture of carpets in the traditional manual way for Armenia, in which they decided to create a museum and, in fact, a public space. It is definitely worth visiting and studying how women painstakingly weave carpets.

An amazing place! A very interesting tour of the factory, with a visit to the production facilities, as well as the museum of antique carpets. It was great to see the craftsmen live, who so diligently create stunning carpets by hand. And the cherry on the cake was a personal acquaintance with the owner of the factory, Raffi Megarian, who kindly agreed to take a picture with me.

I need to sign up. You will only see the work of the craftsmen, neither the process of preparing the threads nor the coloring process will be shown. If you are interested in folk crafts, I recommend it. It would be great if a book on the history and meaning of carpet weaving with illustrations of Armenian patterns and their description were published.
