The most unusual museums in Georgia. Ethnographic open-air museum named after George Chitaya.
The open-air museum named after George Chitaya is quite unusual and different from others. In the 11 halls of this museum you will see installations of several different ethnographic zones. The museum has about seventy houses and outbuildings that convey the history of the country and represent different regions of habitation.
The author of the idea of founding the open-air museum was academician George Chitaya, who brought it to life. The museum represents a miniature model of Georgia and reflects its diverse ethnic culture: forms of settlement, monuments of folk architecture, material and spiritual culture, labor biography, creative thinking and aesthetic taste of the Georgian people.

Этот этнографический музей создан в 1966 году грузинским историком
этнографом Георгием Читаем. Отличие от других музеев в том ,что все
экспонаты перевезены из 14-ти исторический - географических регионов Грузии.
Они отражают быт, технологий и традиций народа. Работники музея
хорошо сохранили кухонный утварь, кувшины, табаки, казаны . Сохранены кровати,
колыбели, одежды. Местами воспроизведены хозяйственные постройки с сараями
амбарами, конюшнями.
Если турист хочет соприкасаться с историей Грузии узнать по ближе ее древний быт,
это место находка . В статье говорится что ещё есть экспонаты на стадий
реконструкций работниками музея. Так что это ещё не предел.
