Mikoyan Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:28:22

This Soviet-era museum is a shrine to brothers Anastas and Artyom Mikoyan. Anastas survived 60 years in the Politburo, outlasting even Stalin – we reckon he deserves a museum. Artyom was the designer of the USSR’s first jet fighter in WWII, the MiG. There’s an early MiG jet outside the museum (no climbing allowed!) and plenty of photos, medals, uniforms and aircraft plans and drawings inside.

The museum is located downhill from Sanahin Monastery, off Mikoyan St.
