A
National Art Gallery
Holding the third biggest collection of European masters in the former USSR, many of the works in the National Art Gallery were appropriated in Europe during WWII. This national treasure includes works by Donatello, Tintoretto, Fragonard, Courbet, Theodore Rousseau, Rodin, Rubens and Jan Van Dyck. There are also many works by Russian painters, and Armenian painters, sculptors and graphic artists including Martiros Sarian, Yervand Kochar and Sedrak Arakelyan. Note that the floors are a little wonky – floor seven is marked floor eight in the elevator, and so forth. If you can talk your way into visiting the roof there are opportunities here for sweeping city views.
