Martiros Saryan Park is located
between Mashtots Avenue, Marshal Baghramyan Avenue, and Stepan Zoryan Street.
At the center of the park
stands a 6 m-high statue of Martiros Saryan (1986, white marble, sculptor Levon
Tokmajyan and architect Arthur Tarkhanyan), the world-renowned Armenian painter
and founder of the national school of modern Armenian painting.
On weekends, the park regularly
hosts an open-air exhibition and sale of works by contemporary artists. For
this reason, Yerevan residents also refer to the park as the "Saryan
Vernissage."
