ARMENIAN STREET ART AT TAMAYAN PARK, YEREVAN

Yerevan, Armenia - September 2024

While on a walking tour (during a 2024 tour of Georgia & Armenia), we went through the Tamayan Park leading to the Yerevan Cascades. Within the park were several nice sculptures. We were in a rush and did not stop long at the park, so I couldn't take photos of the title tags which show the name of the artwork and the artist. So below are some of those sculptures that are found at the park. Enjoy!
