Sergey Parajanov was a Soviet Armenian director and artist. Parajanov is well-known for its surreal movies. Many times the artist was put into jail during the Soviet Times for his views and visions. This unique and amazing artist’s heritage is represented in the Museum.

There are 2 memorial rooms in the museum, posters and festival prizes, signed letters by Federico Fellini, Lilya Brik, Andrey Tarkovsky and many other famous and renowned people. The amazing thing about this artist is that he could turn a simple thing into a real piece of art. It is just amazing and unbelievable: with what imagination he decorates the chair, makes a playing card. And most of these pieces of art the author created in jail.
