It includes the Museum, teaching studios of fine arts and decorative applied art, the children’s philharmonic society, two theaters and the musical school of national instruments. It has branches throughout Armenia. The Center provides artistic education for school-age children with unique methods.

The museum has participated in many international exhibitions and has received many prestigious awards.
