About this metric
This metric splits the visitors of Armenia's museums into free and paid. The chart shows the number of visitors in each group, for each year.
In 2025 museums had 2,192,628 free and 1,147,458 paid visitors. Paid visitors were 34.4% of the 3,340,086 total. Paid visitors numbered 336,163 in 2010, so the 2025 figure is about 3.4 times as high. Free visitors went from 1,308,773 in 2010 to 2,192,628 in 2025.
2022 stands out. Paid visitors (1,090,770) outnumbered free ones (872,828), the only year when this happened. Their share was 55.5%, against 17.6% to 34.6% in every other year. Free visitors fell from 1,570,648 in 2021 to 872,828 in 2022 and were 2,257,978 in 2023. The source does not give a reason for this.
