Russian – Armenian Friendship Museum

As modern Rostov-on-Don integrates two earlier separate cities – Rostov-on-Don (founded in 1749) and Nakhichevan-on-Don (founded in 1779), a decision was taken to establish a Museum of Russian – Armenian Friendship (Branch of the State Budget Cultural establishment of Rostov Region “Rostov Regional Museum of Natural History”). It was opened on November 25, 2011. Address of the Branch: 14/2, Svobody Square, Rostov-on-Don, in the building of the two-storey mansion house of merchant Mark Iskidarov, built in 1899 - 1900 by architect S. Laskanov, being a listed monument of architecture. Main exposition is at the second floor.
