The research was done with the use of descriptive and analytical methods. As a result of the study, it can be stated that the Nairi cinema, in addition to being a culturally significant center, is of great interest as a historical building of a spectacular type, especially in the sense that it has not lost its face and significance over time. Apart from some changes, the cinema hall has been partially preserved, with a stage, which is a rarity for Yerevan, the style and decoration of which are discussed separately in the article.
