Goris Local Lore Museum

Located in the center of the town of Goris, this museum houses a collection of over 5,000 ethnographic and archaeological objects that tell the story of the region’s cultural heritage, history, and traditions. The museum collections include weapons, ornaments, belts, ceramics, bronze and beaded jewelry, some with semi-precious stones, and ethnographic objects that reflect a long history of cultural activity.

Many objects were excavated near the museum. Of particular significance is a five-faced idol dating back to the 2nd millennium BC, a special pre-Christian object featuring unique imagery.
