The Yeghegnadzor Regional Museum, Armenian: Եղեգնաձորի երկրագիտական թանգարան, is a museum in Yeghegnadzor, in the province (marz) of Vayots Dzor in southern Armenia.[1]: 417 [2]: 329 . It was established in 1968,[3] and holds approximately 9000 archaeological and ethnological artefacts dating from pre-historic times to the twentieth century.[4]
Collection
[edit]The museum contains approximately 9000 objects, ranging in date from pre-historic times to the twentieth century. They include jewellery, tools, utensils, carpets and coins.[4] The most significant is an intricately-carved fourteenth-century khachkar carved by Momik, originally in the monastery of Noravank; it is two parts, which were found in different places.[1]: 417 [2]: 329
The Bronze Age and Medieval artifacts found during the archiological excavations of ancient Moz town of 1930, 1978, 1979 also are on display at the Yeghegnadzor Regional Museum.
