The territory of the reserve includes the 16th century Church of the Archangel, the 16th century marani (wine cellar) with kvevri (wine pot) and satsnakheli (grape press) with corners for traders, kings and noblemen and ruins of the noblemen's bath. The material excavated on the territory of Gremi and Nekresi is exhibited in the Gremi Museum (15th century monument), which presents the royal quarters and a three-storey tower with a bell tower.
The exhibits include Bronze Age weapons and tools, necklaces, zoomorphic images, iron axes from the 12th and 13th centuries, samples of 15th century ceramics, glazed tiles and bricks, drinking water pipes, 16th century cannon and bow with arrows, a church bell, as well as various period quovers and bronze dishes from the Middle Ages. The artist Levan Chogoshvili's series "Portraits of Kings" is exhibited in the museum.
Gremi-Nekresi was the most ancient religious center of the area, where in the VI century there was the activity of one of the 13 Assyrian "fathers" Abibo Nekreseli, who was consecrated a saint.
The museum was founded in 1975, and in 2011 a large-scale restoration project of the historic town of Gremi was completed. The new exposition has been prepared as a royal chamber and, accordingly, the whole exhibition is devoted to the theme of the kings of Kakheti: kings and royal power (historical documents of kings - letters with signatures and seals of kings). The tsars' chamber also exhibits the tsar's crown of King Levan of Kakheti as well as his clothes which are decorated in the 16th century Nekresi traditions. Materials reflecting the activities of the kings of Kakheti in the Holy Land, Jerusalem, and Mount Athos, copies of historical documents and plaster casts of old manuscripts, the story of Teimuraz of the Palace of Gremi and "Martyrdom of Queen Ketevan".

Вот музей действительно интересный и, как я понял, посетитель не отдаленно наблюдает за историей, как в других музеях, а сам погружается в это историю. Просто великолепно! Не терпится увидеться все своими глазами!
