The Dilijan Geological Museum-Gallery gives a complete picture of the history of Dilijan, the cultural development of the locals, their life. The first excavations in Armenia took place in the 1850s in a place called Redkin-Lager. The place's name is derived from a road builder, engineer, Radkin, who set up camp 6 km north of Dilijan on the right bank of the Aghst River. They had to build a road between Armenia and Georgia աբար it happened by chance that the road was going to pass through the mausoleum. That is why the tombs are opened, the first archeological excavations are carried out. The whole collection is excavated from the surrounding areas of Dilijan. It dates from the third to the first millennium BC, the Late Early Copper Iron Age. The Dilijan Geological Museum is also of special importance, as are the rare paintings preserved here.
