History of the Building
The Erzurum Painting and Sculpture Museum building is the first building where the Erzurum Congress convened. The building, commissioned by Mıgırdiç Sanasaryan in 1864, served as Sanasaryan College (Armenian Girls' Boarding School).
The building, which was expropriated before the Republic, suffered a fire in late 1924 and the wooden part burned completely.
