After the ruinous earthquake of 1988 the building of the gallery was given to the homeless people and was reopened in 2004.
The gallery is a two-storied building. On the ground floor is exhibited the works of Eranuhi Aslamazyan, and on the first floor – the works of Mariam Aslamazyan.
The building of the gallery is situated in the central square of Gyumri. The building as the Qeshishovs residence was constructed in the 80's of the 19th century by their family - the opulent merchants, famous in Gyumri. This building is a bright example of 19th century town building architecture of Aleksandrapol which includes the elements of European and traditional Armenian architecture of that time forming original Gyumri town with black tuff masonry. The building has an interesting architectural feature: luxurious inner courtyard and wooden balcony.
