Armenia Launches a Nationwide E-Ticketing System for Museums
How the new MuseumsArmenia.am platform is transforming visitor experiences
Armenia has introduced MuseumsArmenia.am, a unified e-ticketing system designed to modernize museum access, streamline ticket sales, and enhance visitor experience. This initiative, led by the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture, and Sports (MoESCS), is a major step toward digital transformation in Armenia’s cultural sector.
MoESCS Minister Zhanna Andreasyan, together with WebEx Technologies representatives, museum directors, and government officials, recently discussed the platform’s progress and expansion. This automated system has already been implemented in 26 museums, offering a more efficient and user-friendly approach to cultural engagement.
“The goal of this e-ticketing platform is to improve museum management efficiency while providing citizens and tourists with high-quality services,” said Minister Zhanna Andreasyan. She emphasized the need for continuous development and technical improvements to optimize user experience.
