The Vanadzor Fine Arts Museum

The Vanadzor Fine Arts Museum (Armenian: ՎանաձորիԿերպարվեստի թանգարան) was founded in 1974 as a branch of the National Gallery of Armenia. Five years later, in 1979, museum authority transferred to the Kirovakan City Council (today's Vanadzor Community Council), and in 2004 it was included in the Republic of Armenia's Historical and Cultural Monuments of Lori marz (province).[1]
