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.

The exhibits are decent and the design is modern. 🔥 The Hermitage would envy such a collection of gold! I was most impressed by the showcase with the inscription 3rd millennium BC!!! And there's not a digging stick, but something beautiful. And the golden lion cub that we saw on the emblem of the Bank of Georgia! I really doubted that the museum was worth its considerable money (after St. Petersburg), but now I recommend it! Besides the gold collection, the other halls are also great! There is something to see!
