Dramatic Theatre
The Vardan Ajemian State Drama Theatre of Gyumri is one of the most important cultural institutions in Armenia and a key cultural symbol of the city. The theatre was founded in 1865, making it one of the oldest continuously operating theatres in the country. The theatre is named after renowned director and theatre figure Vardan Ajemian, who made a significant contribution to the development of Armenian theatre. Over the years, numerous classical and contemporary performances have been staged here, shaping Gyumri’s rich theatrical traditions. The current building was constructed during the Soviet period and is notable for its monumental architectural style. Despite the devastating 1988 earthquake, the theatre continued its activity, maintaining its important role in the cultural life of the city. Today, the drama theatre remains one of the main cultural centers of Gyumri, presenting diverse performances and contributing to the city’s vibrant artistic scene.

Olympic Cinema
“Olympic” Cinema is one of Gyumri’s modern movie theaters, representing a more contemporary side of the city’s leisure culture. Unlike historical cinemas, it reflects a newer format focused on everyday entertainment and casual visits. The cinema mainly serves local audiences, offering screenings of current films in a setting designed for comfort and regular use. It is one of the places where city life shifts indoors, especially during the evening hours. Although relatively recent in format, “Olympic” Cinema has become part of Gyumri’s evolving urban life, highlighting the city’s more modern and everyday rhythm.
