Shushi Carpet Museum (Armenian: Շուշիի գորգերի թանգարան) was founded by Vardan Astsatryan in 2011. The museum opened its doors to the public in 2013, when its location, Shusha (Armenian: Shushi, Շուշի), was under the control of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh. 71 rugs and carpets from the Shushi Carpet Museum are on display in Yerevan at the National Museum-Institute of Architecture after Alexander Tamanyan.
