Georgian National Museum. Shalva Amiranashvili Museum of Fine Arts

The art is beautiful, but it’s hard to enjoy when someone is following you around with their phone playing a video without even saying hello. Some staff were unprofessional, which made me feel uncomfortable, although others were more discreet. The collection is also a bit pricey for its size. Additionally, the lighting needs improvement, as there’s a glare on some of the artworks.

The museum is quite small, and they charge foreigners double the entry fee (40 gel compared to 15 gel for locals), which feels like a tourist trap. The exhibition on Pirosmani was good, but some advertised paintings were missing, and the staff didn't have any information about them. I did get to see some incredible works by Georgian artists, but overall, I felt a bit cheated.

The art collection isn't the greatest and isn't really my style. However, the five floors of glass stairs are fun to explore on their own!

Не рекомендую. Это пустая трата времени. Создается ощущение, что они собрали остатки из Национальной галереи и Музея изобразительных искусств. К тому же, слишком дорого.

Вход стоит 40 лари, а внутри всего три этажа, на каждом из которых не более 30-40 картин. Один из этажей почти не связан с Грузией. Освещение выставлено плохо, из-за чего трудно разглядеть экспонаты. По моему мнению, это место не стоит своих денег. Я пришла сюда ради одной картины и барельефов.

Çok etkileyici eserler var. Özellikle birinci kat ve üst kattaki eserler harikaydı. Giriş ücreti biraz pahalı olsa da kesinlikle değer. Müze girişinde eşyalarınızı ücretsiz bırakabileceğiniz alanlar mevcut. Bu eserlere gelmeden dönmek istemezdim.

The museum is quite small for the admission price. It has a nice variety of art, but the staff was talking loudly throughout our visit, which made it difficult to read and appreciate the artworks.

The museum is poorly organized and the staff is unfriendly and discriminatory. When I was trying to buy a ticket, the only person at the front desk took a long smoke break and made me wait. He was quite rude when he finally helped me. Inside the gallery, a staff member closely followed me, maintaining an uncomfortable distance and watching me like I was suspicious, even though I was just there to appreciate the art. While I understand that staff needs to be present, they shouldn't stalk visitors. The museum lacks clear guidance, and there is minimal context provided about the artwork. I wouldn't recommend this place. Other art museums I visited were far superior in both collections and storytelling. Save your money and avoid this establishment.

Too pricey for what little art is available.

Un très beau musée ! Le personnel est accueillant. Je recommande particulièrement la section sur les artistes géorgiens du début du XXe siècle, avec des œuvres magnifiques. La partie sur les fragments, bas-reliefs et sculptures des 5-6 siècles (initialement issus d'églises) mérite aussi une visite, c'est vraiment splendide. Le seul point négatif est l'éclairage, qui rend difficile de bien apprécier certaines œuvres magnifiques. C'est vraiment dommage, mais cela peut être amélioré !
