Three millenniums later next to the fortress of Erebuni a cultural stronghold &#8211; Erebuni archeological reserve museum was created which is one of the important centers of Urartian studies. Erebuni museum was established in 1968 based on the various archeological remains found around three historical sites of Erevan; Arin-Berd, Karmir Blur (Teishebaini) and Shengavit.<br \/>\nThe building of the museum, the authors of which are architects Shmavon Azatian, Baghdasar Arzoumanian and sculptor Ara\u00a0Harutiunian, reminds the structural composition of Urartian palaces that represents external hard walls and habitable house with flat roof with garret-window aggregated around the inner yard. The visitors of the museum have unique opportunity to get acquainted with the rich material excavated from the historical places of Armenia which refers to different periods: pre-Urartian, Urartian, Akemenyan, Hellenistic and early Armenian. More than 11000 archeological objects are united in 128 collections and are distinguished for great variety.\u00a0The permanent exhibition consists of 649 archeological objects. The exhibition starts at the highreliefs of Urartian\u00a0chief God Khaldi and God of war Teishebaini and the model of Erebuni fortress made of corks which was awarded in\u00a0Louvre and Montreal.<br \/>\nThis exhibition presents a rich material referring to the history, developed economy and art of Urartu. Among the excavated materials there are some objects of special interest- the seven cuneiforms of the found 23 ones. One can see Urartian bronze shields, helmets, quivers, arrows, various working tools: sickle, shovel, jugs, clay vessels and many other things, that\u00a0have great importance for illustrating the relations of Urartu with different civilizations, especially Asian,\u00a0Mediterranean, Assyrian. This archeological material let us have an idea about developed civilization and\u00a0rich culture of Armenian Highland.<br \/>\nEach year thousands of tourist visit Erebuni museum and a number of events are planned here on the international day of Museums.\u00a0By the museum there is a souvenirs\u2019 shop where one can acquire the duplicates of the objects exhibited in the museum, which are wonderful samples of souvenirs.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - http:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_counters\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-small.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top:2px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_c=new Array(\"twitter\",\"facebook_like\",\"facebook_send\",\"google\",\"pinterest\");var hupso_counters_lang = \"en_US\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_c=\"\";var hupso_title_c=\"Erebuni Museum in Yerevan\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/counters.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 782 BC one of the most powerful kings of the Urartian kingdom of Van, Argishti \u0406 built Erebuni city-fortress on the hill Arin-Berd.
