The creation of the Aznavour Center is a major project on which Charles Aznavour worked during the last two years of his life, including the creation of hte concept, architectural choices, scenography, and audio guide he recorded personally.

The Aznavour Center will host an interactive and technological museum retracing the life and career of Charles Aznavour, as well as a cultural and educational platform on cinema, music and the French language. It will house the French Institute, following the agreement signed between the Foundation and the French government, to create a real "showcase of French culture in Armenia" (Emmanuel Macron).

The best specialists have been mobilized to make the Aznavour Center a unique, lively and interactive space.
The multimedia museum will inspire the public to dream big through the journey of Charles Aznavour, while the educational center and the French Institute will provide the tools to achieve this.

Museum

The museum will serve as a true source of inspiration by telling a timeless story that will propel you beyond what you could imagine.

In this museum part of the Aznavour Center, the public will be able to discover the life of the artist told by his own voice, thanks to the audio guide he recorded.
