Cafesjian Center for the Arts

The Cafesjian Center for the Arts, also known as the Cafesjian Museum, is housed in the Cascade complex on Tamanyan Street in Yerevan. The art museum was founded by Gerard Levon Cafesjian, a prominent American businessman and collector of Armenian descent, and opened to visitors on 17 November 2009. Its holdings are based on the founder’s personal collection, assembled over years of travel and research. The Armenian government granted the Cascade complex to the Cafesjian Foundation as the home of this distinctive museum.
