I.V. Stalin Museum

Very nice museum that displays both the original house of Stalin and his train coach. Inside there is a lot of historical material about his life, but also pre-revolutionary Russia, the October revolution, and then the Soviet Union. Everything is very well organized and described. It's a real pity that you have to pay for it, which is in contrast to his values (Lenin Mausoleum is free), besides I had the very bad idea of buying a magnet and a few postcards which were very expensive. Beside that, it's one of the not many yet best and genuine places you can visit in Georgia. Time is ticking fast toward EU homologation, in Tbilisi this is much more noticeable, unfortunately. In Gori, there is still some resistance.

It is definitely worth visiting the museum, I love the spirit of the USSR. The expositions are full of photographs and documents, newspapers, letters. There are interesting works by Georgian artists. But it is worth noting the museum staff, who tolerate Russian-speaking visitors with dignity. The guides call themselves historians (since when is it not very clear, perhaps Georgian ones can be such), they give information clearly according to the methodology. The Yalta Conference of 1945 was held in Ukraine, it's interesting, but Katyn was arranged by the Russians. It is said peremptorily and with a proudly raised head. Any discussion on this subject is stopped on the spot, no wonder the museum of Comrade Stalin, and they threaten to stop the tour and leave the group of listeners.
But as Comrade Stalin said: Man is not eternal. And I'm going to die. What will be the judgment of the people and history? There were a lot of mistakes, but there were also achievements, right? Mistakes, of course, will be attributed to me. A pile of garbage will be put on my grave, but one day the wind of history will mercilessly scatter it.
"history does not know the subjunctive mood" by I. V. Stalin in a conversation with the German writer Emil Ludwig.
If you are in Gori, be sure to visit this place.
The locals respect the personality of I. Stalin and honor his memory.

The museum itself may be informative, but the guide who took us through the exhibit spoiled the whole impression. A monotonous story without emotion or participation. We read more in the photo. Disgusting! Wasted time and money. How can you work with such a mood in a profession that should charge you with love for your business?!
I hope you are lucky and you will have another guide who will immerse you in the life of I. Stalin.

Whether you like this place or not depends very much on the guide. I very unsuccessfully got to a Russian-speaking Georgian (blonde with a square). There was nothing more boring than what I heard. The woman was talking under her breath, I couldn't make out half of the words because of the silence. In my case, the impression was definitely spoiled. The guide in the English group was much more interesting.

We wanted to visit the Stalin Museum, bought tickets for GEL 15, at the ticket office they said that the guide was free. I asked when to expect the tour to start, to which the cashier called the guide (a Georgian woman with a discolored square), she told us that there was no tour in Russian now and if we did not want to walk around the museum ourselves, then we could return the tickets to the ticket office, which we did. It's a pity, we came here specifically for an excursion. This attitude was not expected.

Great tour.The exposition is poor in originals, but everything is covered by the presentation of interesting information. The view of Stalin as a man, not a politician.Admission: adult - 15 GEL, child - 1 GEL.

A wonderful place! The museum, the house where Stalin was born and grew up. It is a must for everyone to visit: those who respect Stalin, understand and appreciate his huge positive contribution to the development of our country and today's peaceful sky above their heads, and those who do not yet realize this. There was a Russian-speaking guide. I liked everything very much.

You can call this place a museum conditionally, because it's more like a photo gallery. Don't waste money on getting to know photos of an unworthy person

You should not come here on purpose, especially if you are not a fan of Joseph Dzhugashvili.
The exposition is interesting, there are many original things and gifts, but the price of admission is too high.
The guides will not reveal any special secrets to you, but many people already know the well-known information.

It's a little creepy place. But if you don't think about the person, then this is an integral artifact of the era and an object reflecting social, psychological (and psychiatric) processes. In such optics, it becomes curious

An interesting place! Be sure to take an excursion (armored train, house) and a lot of documents related to Stalin's personality, the territory is large and very well maintained!

The Stalin Museum, personally, made a heavy impression on me. I couldn't get rid of this heavy aura even the next day. I went to church , I felt better . The great Dostoevsky wrote correctly - Demons.

Since my childhood was spent in the city of Gori, after school we often ran (then still for free) to the Stalin Museum.A very interesting exhibition dedicated to the childhood, youth and mature years of Joseph Dzhugashvili.There is an exhibition of gifts that were presented to Stalin in different years.There is a death mask in a separate room.

They talk about youth, family, hobbies, everyday life. A lot about gifts to him. How he got to the point of having his own museum remains completely behind the scenes. The words famine, repression, collectivization exactly once without explanation. The guide's attitude is emphatically neutral, one feels some pride in an outstanding countryman. Draw conclusions, especially from what they don't say

I liked. It is very informative and interesting. No matter what they say, they won the war under his leadership. It is worth his armored train, which can also be visited. Personal belongings, pipes. Letters.

There should be no such museums in the 21st century
Essentially: The museum itself is stunning in its tasteless design
