Museums will really showcase the deepest root from where the country had began. We spent half day exploring the museum we are lucky to see the pompeii exhibition as well. My favorite section is the fossilized bones and artifacts in the “Stone Age of Georgia” exhibition. We also seen how the ancestors have evolved in creating the jewelry and household materials, clothing and armors. We have seen Greek figures from gods and goddesses to Alexander the Great and his descendants in some of the exhibits too. The last part that we have seen is “The Soviet Occupation” exhibition is located on the fourth floor of the Georgian National Museum. It is representing seven decades of the Soviet rule in Georgia (1921-1991). The ambience there made me really feel the suffering of the people. I could never imagine how our ancestors have fought hard to get the freedon we have now for every country around the world. Museums are always the best place to travel back in time. We paid 15 Lari and we went early as soon as they opened as there are a lot of group tours going on. We did not take pictures inside as the staff said its not allowed.

the museum building is beautiful, built in an old government european style building, the prices for tickets are okay, but a bit expensive for what you get. there’s multiple floors with different things, there’s ancient history and nature on the first floor, all about the old human species and different plants, animals, rocks etc that you can find in georgia. then there’s a very interesting underground area that has an art museum (you have to pay separately for this), and the underground has medieval to ancient times’ history, there’s lots of coins, gold and items that were buried with people. then there’s a soviet occupation section (people said in the reviews you pay extra for it but it was open for me with no extra cost). there’s recent war history with lots of weapons, armour and clothing from 1700’s to early 1900’s. and an art museum with a lot of paintings of boobs for some reason. would be better if there was more but i enjoyed it.

To be honest I was disappointed when I left. As a student I paid very little for the entrance ticket (like 20 cents of a euro), which was very good. But I would have expected to get to know at all where Georgian people comes from, further depth of their history as a nation and what is the connection (if it is a connection at all) with the rest of citizens in Europe-Asia since the migrations from Africa went through Georgia. I am a Basque citizen, there are many theories about the basque people and "race" coming from the Caucasus Georgia, but no even a mention or any light at all I found in this Museum. They have this room in the ground floor where they speak about the human evolution, but it seems very generic to me and not concrete and focus at all in Georgia (see pictures). Also, I asked a couple of questions to 3 persons and despite they were polite, no one of them knew English enough to answer...

i really dont understand why others have rated this museum so highly as my honest feedback is that thats big no to me! the only exhibition i like is the only one room talked about the soviet union occupation which would take u max 30mins to finish. and most of the items showcased was copies and not the actual items. i went there on a sunday morning the front desk woman doesnt speak much english and super slow on her service, after waited for 10mins with just 2 people in front of me, i was told they dont accept cash, n only credit card! and no change to return if u bring cash. i then came back in the afternoon after getting the exact 30 GEL. then i wait for another 15 mins, honestly worse experience ever during my rtw tour.

An excellent museum A hidden treasure at the beginning of Rustaveli Avenue, a walking distance from freedom/liberty square, a very convenient location. The Georgian National Museum is the product of the unification of several museums and research centers that hosts various exhibitions, both temporary and permanent, from archaeological to modern art collections and cultural exhibits. The Museum is 4 floors, each floor is divided into two sections, each section specializes in a specific subject/theme with interesting artifacts, to name a few: archaeological, Georgian heritage, soviet occupation, east Asia…etc. Note: The elevator is not working, so be prepared to climb few stairs.
