The Aram Khachaturian Museum () was established in 1978 in Yerevan, Armenia, just after the composer's death. The first permanent exposition was opened on January 23, 1984, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the composer.

The concept for the museum originated in the 1970s, with Khachaturian reviewing the initial blueprints and providing design input during his lifetime. In his will, the maestro bequeathed his manuscripts, letters, piano, personal artifacts, and gifts to the future institution. The museum building integrates and extends the original residence where Khachaturian stayed during his visits to Yerevan. This structural conversion and expansion was designed by architect Edvard Altunyan. The collection of note manuscripts and film music of Composer Aram Khachaturian included in the international register of the Memory of the World program.

Under its founding director Gohar Harutiunyan,Գոհար Հարությունյան. ազնվական կեցվածքով տնօրենը։ Երեվան, Երաժիշտ (Սեպտեմբեր, 2010) the museum succeeded in attracting financial support from a wide range of sponsors and benefactors, and expanded its collection of artifacts belonging to Khachaturian.А.

The multi-story building features an elegant concert hall, equipped with a Bechstein grand piano, which regularly hosts classical music performances. The complex also houses an extensive CD library, an in-house workshop dedicated to the restoration and repair of violins, and a publishing department for scholarly books. Committed to advancing music education in Armenia, the museum maintains strong collaborative links with local musicians and contemporary composers.

The Museum is located on 3 Zarobyan St (off Marshal Bagramyan Ave), Yerevan 0009, Armenia. Tel: (374-10) 58.94.18.
