While everyone in Armenia hadturned to modern clothing, Lusik Aguletsi, an artist, was famous for walking around the capital in traditional Armenian clothing she created. Her house became a shrine of sorts, where her vast collection of outfits from different Armenian regions was housed. Aguletsi also crafted belts, jewelry, furniture, and other types of decor.
在她去世后,房子是converted into a museum, where all of her handcrafted outfits are beautifully displayed. Throughout the museum is a gorgeous array of silver belts, bracelets, necklaces, and other jewelry. There is also a collection of traditional Armenian furniture and rugs. Photographs of Aguletsi in her garbs are also on display around the museum.
The house museum is at 79 Muratsan St, a 15-minute walk from Yerevan's central train station at Sasuntsi David Square, or a 10-minute cab ride from the city center. If you call a day ahead and make an appointment, you can request to be photographed wearing some of the traditional clothing. Drinks and light fare can be ordered if you need to recharge.
