Լocated in the village of Sanahin, not far from the UNESCO World Heritage Site Sanahin monastery, the Mikoyan Brothers museum is dedicated to two famous Soviet Armenians – Anastas Mikoyan, a communist revolutionary and Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, and his brother Artem Mikoyan, a renowned aircraft designer who designed the MiG aircraft together with Mikhail Gurevich.
The museum opened in 1982. One of the MiG-21 aircrafts designed by Artem Mikoyan and Anastas Mikoyan’s GAZ-12 ZIM limousine were brought from Moscow for the museum’s opening ceremony.
