Open-air Ethnographic Museum in Tbilisi
Description
The Giorgi Chitaia Museum of Georgian Folk Architecture and Local Lore stands on a mountain slope west of Turtle Lake in Tbilisi. Here you can explore the homestead culture of every historical and ethnographic region of Georgia, the variety of dwellings and traditional ways of life, and see a historical and archaeological exhibition and craft workshops. The museum’s collection holds more than 9000 items.
Its 58 hectares present three economic and cultural zones — lowland, plateau and highland — which divide the grounds into regions: Kartli, Kakheti, Samtskhe-Javakheti, Samegrelo, Guria, Imereti, Adjara and Abkhazia. The museum was founded on 27 April 1966 on the initiative of Academician Giorgi Chitaia, founder of the Georgian school of ethnography.
