While visiting Gyumri for my class reunion, I was invited to Zanan Cultural House. At first, I was not sure what to expect, but it turned out to be an unforgettable experience!
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth. The highlight of the day was dressing up in traditional Armenian outfits—beautifully embroidered garments that made us feel deeply connected to our roots. The staff helped us choose pieces that reflected different regions of Armenia, and we couldn’t stop admiring each other’s looks!
The outfits, fabrics and fabric colors were selected very carefully through the lens of women’s creativity and tradition. We laughed, learned, and took countless photos—each one a memory of joy and discovery.
If you’re ever in Gyumri, I highly recommend spending a day here. Whether you’re Armenian or simply curious about the culture, you’ll leave with a full heart and a deeper appreciation for the beauty of tradition.
