"The Armenian museum in Watertown (MA) is an incredible institution that works extremely hard to preserve and show the Armenian culture. It has wonderful exhibition rooms that depict the diversity and richness of the Armenian people in a very distinct way. The collection is incredible, showing, among others, incredible manuscripts, Armenian genocide and traditional garments. Simply stunning and definitely worth a visit to broaden and deepen one's view on Armenian culture!"

"Its not a very big museum, but worth visiting. I visited on a Sunday and so had free parking in the municipal lot behind the museum. The exhibit about the Armenian Genocide was very moving. They have a nice shop that is reasonably priced."

"The Armenian Museum is an important cultural institution and a great way to spend an afternoon learning about one of the world’s oldest civilizations. The museum is beautiful and modern inside. It is very well organized with informative and engaging exhibits across four floors with a large and varied collection that ranges from prehistoric artifacts, books and manuscripts, coins, jewelry, everyday items such as musical instruments, household goods and clothing, to modern day art highlighting the unique history of Armenia and contributions of Armenians worldwide. The exhibit on the second floor on the Armenian Genocide is a heartbreaking must-see. There are also several interactive stations as well as online exhibits accessible from home. Museum parking is available in a lot behind the museum. Entry fees are very reasonable with discounts for seniors and children available. The museum has exhibits on several floors and an elevator is available. Staff are very helpful and pleasant. A lovely gift shop is also located on the first floor with unique finds such as Armenian cookbooks, children’s books and games in Armenian, and jewelry. Highly recommend making the Armenian Museum of America a stop on your Boston area itinerary."

"Spent a couple of hours taking in the variety of exhibits this museum had to offer. There is historic art on the first floor, information regarding the genocide on the second floor, and even modern art pieces on the third floor. This museum is great for folks who enjoy history, traditional Armenian art, and modern art. I easily found free parking around the block from the museum in a residential street. Highly recommended."
