Definitely worth a visit!!
I had a really fun time at the museum! The exhibits were interactive, creative, and perfect for taking unique photos.
The museum isn't huge, but I spent over an hour exploring everything and trying out all the different installations. The staff were friendly, and everything was well organized.

Great experience!
Wearing traditional Armenian clothing for my photoshoot was such a beautiful and meaningful experience. The intricate details, rich colors, and craftsmanship made me feel deeply connected to Armenia’s history and culture. It was more than just a photoshoot — it felt like honoring a proud and timeless tradition.
I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to celebrate culture in a unique and unforgettable way.

wonderful time!
I was able to choose my favorite costume from many beautiful designs, and Narine was incredibly kind and gave clear, helpful instructions. During the painting session, she even played music that matched my taste, and we enjoyed chatting throughout. I had such a wonderful and relaxing time.
The finished doll became a very special and memorable souvenir for me.

Make Your Own Gyumri Door at Varem Marem Studiogohar89, Sep 2025
Instant Photos, Gifts, and Fun Extras
I was in a rush, so I didn’t get a chance to paint the door myself, but I bought a door, and they kindly gave me a window too. They instantly take a photo and share it on their wall like breaking news, which was really fun. You can even get it for just 500 AMD. They also have fridge magnets with QR codes that let you watch an episode of Varem Marem from the picture. Such a creative and unique experience

Gyumri Magnet Door Making @ Varem Marem Studio
Absolutely recommend going to Varem Marem Studio when visiting Gyumri. It's such a fun and creative space! There are lots of activities. My friend and I did the Gyumri door activity. We first chose which style of door we wanted, mixed the ingredients, cast it into the mold, and then painted them. They double as magnets! There's a coffee shop right next to it where you can grab a coffee and get your portrait drawn on a cup after standing for just 5 minutes (she’s amazing, won’t disappoint), plus a cute souvenir shop right beside it :)

Should be on your Gyumri bucket list
It was a wonderful experience for everybody. The fact that you made your own sweets and afterwards were able to enjoy them with the self made barley coffee and some tea was perfect. Great activity for all ages.

Unforgettable experience!
What a fun and special day this was! Narine is SUCH a masterful doll maker. She carefully guided us through the process of choosing a doll and a traditional dress to base our design off of. With care, she gave us step by step instructions in a calm and relaxing environment, including coffee, tea, snacks, and light music. This experience was such a pleasure and I can't wait to do it again!

Horse Riding Tour Across the Dzoraget CanyonErin_C, Jul 2022
Don’t Hesitate
This was one of my best days in Armenia, although I have lived here for 2 months already. Our guide was very hospitable, kind, and helpful from the beginning to the end of the trip. We got to ride through a small village and see the canyon— this is a wonderful way to experience rural Armenia in a fun and warm environment. At the end of the excursion, we ate a home cooked meal and drank homemade vodka. If you can do this trip, please do so. Life-changing.

Amazing experience of horse riding in an Northern Armenia village
We missed the bus so went there late, but the host is very nice to us and offered to delay the trip. He also helped us a lot when finding taxi with the negotiation and giving us tips such as glide for the blue sharing taxi rather than the others, which are really useful.

Just a perfect time-spending place in Gyumri
In the Museum of Illusions of Gyumri the logic pauses and imagination takes the lead. Every corner hides a playful secret, every mirror invites a double take, and every exhibit challenges your eyes. From levitating objects to mind-bending optical illusions, the museum doesn’t just entertain — it makes you think while you laugh and learn a lot of new things.
And the staff - Emily, Anushik, Ruzanna, Seda and Samvel! They are simply the best — warm, attentive, and full of energy. They truly reflect the soul of Gyumri’s residents.
So, I highly recommend this place💜🔮
