Central library after Hovh. Hovhannisyan was founded on May 1, 1921. By the decision № 123 poet Hovhannes Hovhannisyan, the classic of the Armenian literature, who was the Head of the Provincial People's Enlightenment Department of Vagharshapat appointed citizen of Vagaharshapat Gayane Harutyunyan, who received her education in Moscow (later honored teacher, medalist after Kh. Abovyan, daughter of famous armenologist Set Harutyunyan) as the Head of the newly established library-reading room, instructing "... to announce to the public that all the readers can use it for free" (the library)
The library with a book fund of 2405 pieces (Armenian and Russian) started to function on July 3. On February 25, 1923 “Soviet Armenia” newspaper reported that there were already 17 libraries in Ejmiatsin (including the province). When at the same time there were only 14 libraries in Yerevan, 10 in Aleksandrapol, 6 in Zangezur, 2 in Nor Bayazet, 8 in Lori, 3 in Gharakilisa, 7 in Dilijan, 1 in Meghri. There were altogether 70 libraries in Armenia. Children’s library of Ejmiatsin (now department for children) was founded on June 1, 1951.
The central library made a certain contribution to the strengthening of the cultural revolution in the province of Ejmiatsin. It is the first library in the ancient city, which has made a significant contribution to the cultural life of the Armenian nation.
The library sought to use the book to educate the public, comprehensively contributing to the solution of the socio-economic issues of the city. The central library discussed and analyzed the results of the activities of the library branches, guiding them in order to have more effective and purposeful work with readers, so that each person, each family would be connected with the library and the book.
In the light of modern literature, the results of the discussions were studied, elaborated, and then popularized in the library. Based on these discussions, the departments of the Central Library were working hard to compile lists of literature assignments, methodological and instructional materials, and to manage library activities. The reading room of the service department was almost always crowded. Its funds which had mostly single-copy books and were rich in literature on science, technology, medicine, fiction and other spheres always attracted the scientists, students and the youth, pupils of senior classes of the schools.
Directories and catalogues were of great use for the readers. The librarians considered it their duty to contribute to the enrichment of readers' library and bibliographic knowledge.
In 1974 the library system was reconstructed significantly changing the activities of the libraries. This was facilitated by the creation of a centralized library system in 1978, which gave the Central Library not only administrative but also methodological rights.
In the light of new problems, it becomes a database of scientific information for readers, an important field of ideological and political work among the workers.
The location of the library college in Ejmiatsin played a certain role in the process of selection of the personnel.
The material and technical base of the Central Library, all the possibilities of library work are put at the service of the unwavering solution of the socio-economic issues of the region. The people of the region, specialists of various fields have a profound influence on their inner world from the upbringing of the librarians and their spiritual influence.
The library had such active workers as Anik Hayrapetyan (1930s), Mayranush Melkonyan (during the war and post-war period), Burastan Hovhannisyan. The classes of the People's University of Fiction (rector: H. Daneghyan) were held in the Central Library with almost 150 attendants. Within the scope of these classes among the speakers were H. Sahyan, S. Khanzadyan, S. Kaputikyan, H. Khachatryan, Hovh. Ghukasyan, V. Davtyan, Hr. Hovhannisyan, G. Devrikyan, S. Muradyan, Mn. Taryan, V. Talyan and others.
Readers’ meetings with the representatives of Armenian literature, art, science such as Av. Isahakyan, D. Demirchyan, Ye. Charents, N. Zaryan, G. Saryan, H. Shiraz, Sevak, A. Khachatryan, M. Saryan and others, are preserved not only in documentations, in faded invitations, photos, press, but also in the memories of the readers and library workers as the best moments of their lives.
Today, the Central Library after Hovh. Hovhannisyan has more than half a million pieces of literature, acts as CNPO and tries to preserve and continue its former traditions. The director of the library is Hasmik Melkonyan.
There are 6 branches functioning under the subordination of the “Central Library after Hovh. Hovhannisyan” CNPO.
• 1st branch of the Central Library after Hovhannes Hovhannisyan CNPO
• Library after Vachagan Hovhannisyan, 2nd branch

The Historical and Ethnographic Museum of Ejmiatsin was founded in 1964. Tens of thousands of samples and huge ethnographic material are exhibited and preserved in its halls and repositories. Initially the restocking of the exhibits of the museum was implemented due to the schoolchildren, students and collective works.
Archaeological excavations in the region of Ejmiatsin have started yet since 1962. They were headed by honored archaeologist Rafik Torosyan, the Candidate of Historical Sciences, researcher of the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography of NAS RA. The archaeological excavations headed by R. Torosyan lasted till 1985. Later starting since 90s up to date, the discovered unique artifacts have found their own place in the halls and repositories of the Historical and Ethnographic Museum. Today the museum preserves nearly 15 thousand exhibits, about 250 of which are exhibited in the ethnographical hall.
The exhibition of the museum starts from the archaeological hall, where everyday life of the inhabitants of the Ararat valley is presented. The chronology starts from the Eneolithic (Copper-Stone Age), early Bronze Age till the Middle Ages. These exhibits are of great scientific value. Many of them are of unique nature. You will not find such kind of exhibits in Europe or Western Asia. For many scientists the archeological materials of the museum are subjects of constant studies. The ethnographic collection includes exhibits brought from a number of regions of Armenia, Artsakh and Western Armenia. Among these exhibits are rugs, carpets, household items, kitchen utensils, materials related to local crafts, antique books, photos, furniture, numismatic collection, etc. There is also a model of traditional tonratun (a place with underground tonir for cooking and baking) presented in the ethnographic hall, and a model of a shelter of the Stone Age people in the archeological hall.
There is also a unique historical exhibit represented in the museum. It is a typographical machine dating back to 1809. This typographical machine was a gift (1894) to Catholicos Mkrtich I from Victoria Queen of Great Britain. Later the typographical machine was moved from Mother See of Holy Ejmiatsin to the city printing-house, then at the end of 1970s to the Historical and Ethnographic Museum of Ejmiatsin, where this unique historical exhibit is preserved and exhibited till now. One of the interesting parts of the museum exhibition is vordan karmir (a red dye made from Armenian cochineal) and the samples of all its shades.
Referring to the nature of the Historical and Ethnographic Museum, its ethnographic and archeological collections and their powerful role, it should be noted that this museum is a national strength and value for the real Armenian mentality.
The Historical and Ethnographic Museum of Ejmiatsin always comes up with original initiatives. New and thematic exhibitions are regularly held here. The museum always participates in UNESCO European Heritage and “Night of Museums” initiatives.

On the eastern side of Ejmiatsin square after Komitas, behind the red tufa wall one will notice a house where for many years Hovhannes Hovhannisyan lived and created.
On February 9, 1948 in eternal memory of the poet, due to the efforts of Yeva Hovhannisyan, the poet’s daughter and the first Director of the museum, the Executive Committee of Ejmiatsin City Soviet of Working People’s Deputies decided to turn that house into the House-Museum of Hovhannes Hovhannisyan.
The paternal house of the poet has been preserved almost in its original shape. Only the external part is covered with a layer of an Armenia tufa. The house is a 1.5 floor modest building covering an area of 215 square meters. It includes four rooms, а corridor and а kitchen. There is also a spacious balcony and cellars where the blessings of the Ararat valley were kept.
The visitor enters the verdurous yard through the traditional gate. The small stone-build stairs lead to the balcony. On the right wall of the corridor, on a marble board, the following lines by the poet are written:
Shall live the one which is eternal,
Holy beauty and holy mind,
The noble mind will remain free and alive,
And the selfless love for the poor brother…
The museum was partially renovated in 1978. And the entire renovation of the museum was carried out in 2011 on the initiative of Mayor of Ejmiatsin Karen Grigoryan.
The museum is free for visitors.
More than 700 items are preserved and exhibited in the halls (work room, bedroom, dining-room, living-room) and repositories of the museum. These exhibits represent Hovh. Hovhannisyan's life, the years of his study, his literary, social and pedagogical activity, the stories of creation of his works, etc.
The museum also exhibits the editions of his works, photos, personal belongings, autographs, studies on his works, paintings etc.
The bust of the poet (sculptor: Gh. Chubaryan) is situated in the yard of the house.

Music School № 1 of Ejmiatsin was founded in 1945. Since 1967 it has been named after the prominent composer and editor Makar Yekmalyan, who was born in Ejmiatsin.
In the first year, the school had one principal, one teacher and 15 students. The school was located in two unattractive rooms on the periphery of the former Gevorkian Seminary. The school lacked basic conditions. There were no musical instruments, due to the lack of heating there were no classes in winter. In such difficult conditions a huge rewarding work was done by the first principals of the school - Varazdat Sanoyan, Tatul Abrahamyan, the teachers - Marjik Gevorgyan, Anahit Mirzoyan, Haykush Alieva, Maria Ghazarbekyan, Hayk Grigoryan, Shura Khachatryan, Manuk Davtyan, Armen Shushanyan, the honored teacher - Hasmik Yeranosyan, Movses Sharbatyan, Yeranuhi Avagyan and others.
The school experienced a dramatic rise in 1954 (Director: Silva Mekinyan), when a group of graduates of the Conservatory after Komitas joined the staff, new departments were opened in the school, the number of children increased, the quality of education was enhanced. The issue of having a new and comfortable building became an urgent need, which was solved in 1969.
Since the 60s, the school has been actively participating in various competitions, festivals and shows held in the Republic, always having successful results. Thus, during the first Republican Festival of Music Schools held in 1964, Karine Yedigaryan, the 4th grade student of the piano department of the school (teacher: Seda Mangasaryan) and Ashot Asatryan, the 4th grade student of the violin department (teacher: Ruben Yerkanyan) were awarded prizes.

The Music School after M. Yekmalyan, which has been operating as a Community Non-Profit Organization since 2010, now has piano, clarinet, viola, vocal, kanun, duduk, oud and violin classes. The school has 303 students and 48 teachers, most of them are former graduates of the school.

Levon Mkrtchyan (1960-1991), Ashot Asatryan (1991-2000), Sargis Beglaryan (2000-2009), who worked as principals of the school at different times, had an undeniable contribution to the success of the school.
During its 70 years of activity "Music School № 1 after M. Yekmalyan" CNPO has played a significant role in the musical and cultural life of Ejmiatsin and continues to do so today.

Vagharshapat Music School № 2 after Spiridon Melikyan was founded in 1976. At the beginning of its foundation it had 4 professional departments - piano, violin, cello, kanun, 8 teachers, 30 students. Over the years, due to the professional and skilled teachers the staff grew and the number of students increased. Gevorg Hakobyan of blessed memory, who was the first headmaster of the school until 1989, had a great contribution to that work. Later, the principals of the school were Artur Baghdasaryan (1989-2000), Hasmik Shaghoyan (2000-2010) and from November 2010 - Kerob Aslanyan, who was also a graduate of the same school.
All the principals have had a huge contribution to the success of the school, the increase of prestige and the formation of a friendly team. Today 212 students receive music education in the piano, string, brass, folk instruments and vocal departments of the school. They are trained by 40 skilled teachers. Since 2012, the school has a folk instruments orchestra, a choir, a brass band (clarinet and saxophone), ensemble of kanun performers, who participates in a number of festivals and events.
During its existence, the school has had thousands of graduates. The most talented of them continued their education, received secondary professional or higher education and some of them returned to their native school as teachers. Many students of the school have participated and won prizes multiple times in regional, republican and international competition-festivals, honorably representing the school, the city and our Republic.
The school has shaped the musical taste of thousands of children. Due to the school the children learned to distinguish the noisy voices from the pure melody, the cheap one from the valuable one, the transient from the timeless. And this is very important in bringing up a well-rounded generation in these days.
