History
[edit]The museum was built in the 1980s by the initiative of Gevorg Melkonyan, a nephew of Kevork Chavush, and designed by architect Rafael Israelyan. An eagle flying westward towards Western Armenia was later added on the museum tower. The sculpture of an Armenian Eagle was erected in 2014 on the "Fidayatan" tower of the Kevork Chavush Museum and was designed by architect Levon Mkrtchyan and sculptor Gevorg Gevorgyan.[2]
