Another overpriced museum (if a ticket here costs around 10 € or 30 GEL, the Louvre or similar museum should probably sell tickets for 1000 €). There is an area for prehistory, then you move to Georgia/Caucasus biodiversity with stuffed animals and minerals, which is nothing special but ok. At the underground floor they have "the treasury" one part is from the 1800s and is accessible, but if you'd like to view the middle age part you have to pay a supplement (which nobody told me at the ticket counter). But what was most ridiculous for me was at the first floor where they have some artifacts from India or some other oriental culture (?) and an area that they call "Soviet occupation of Georgia" which seems a very unsuccessful way of rewriting history. Maybe for 3 GEL it would be worth a visit.

Typical georgian! Absolutely rude employee in the cloackroom. Ranting (unasked for) about how her boss will thrash her if she let's me in with my micro-backpack and I should shut my mouth and OBEY. Wonder what she does with Chinese and their HUGE rucksacks.

This is a very interesting place. I did not expect to see such a gorgeous, voluminous, versatile exhibition. It is interesting, delightful, and gives an idea of the history of Georgia. I was struck by both the collection of coins from different countries and the stunning national decorations. Delight. By the way, it is after visiting this museum that the nature of the jewelry that is sold at the flea market becomes clear - a lot of handmade jewelry is made based on the traditional motifs provided in the museum. I highly recommend you to visit! The ticket costs 40 lari per adult and 15 lari per pupil, and there are discounts for pensioners. Believe me, it's worth it.
