The Gremi-Nekresi Museum-Reserve was founded in 1975 in the residence of the kings of Kakheti. The Kings’ Hall exhibition in the palace-bell tower tells about the life and work of the kings of Kakheti. Historical documents, royal letters and seals, clothing, military weapons and the royal crown have been preserved in the exhibition hall.
On the territory of the reserve there is an ancient church of the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, built in the middle of the XVI century by decree of King Levan of Kakheti. Special attention in this amazing cross-domed temple should be paid to the artful paintings. Also in the museum you can see a wine cellar, a bell tower and the ruins of an underground tunnel leading to the river.
The museum fund keeps a rich collection of ethnographic and archaeological exhibits: a wine vessel, household items and tools, handmade jewelry, ceramic and clay products.
