The Vernissage is a unique place where all the diversity of the Armenian applied arts is presented. Vernissage appeared as an exhibition-sale of paintings in Martiros Saryan garden in the 1980s. The exhibition soon enlarged, and many artists and craftsmen moved to a new place near the park next to the Republic Square. Here you can find paintings and carved wood, traditional carpets, jewelry, cross-stones (khachkars) made from tuff, musical instruments, all kinds of souvenirs, old collections of coins and medallions, books. It’s impossible to leave Vernissage without buying something as a souvenir.
