Sergei Parajanov Museum
Սերգեյ Փարաջանովի տուն-թանգարան
A museum in the former home of Sergei Parajanov, director of The Color of Pomegranates, displaying his whimsical collages, installations and film manuscripts.
Sergei Parajanov was a highly individualistic film director in the Soviet era, and his best-known work, The Color of Pomegranates, is celebrated for its poetic imagery. The museum is a small house in traditional Caucasian style overlooking the Hrazdan Gorge. It displays collages, dolls, hat installations and film storyboards that Parajanov created while imprisoned and under house arrest. The works are imaginative, playful and satirical. The museum recreates his studio as it looked during his lifetime. Admission is about 1,500 dram, and an English guide is available. It may be closed on Mondays. The museum is about a 20-minute walk from Vernissage.
