Georgian Folk Art Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in Tbilisi, this museum felt like stepping into a treasure chest of Georgian culture. I was completely captivated by the intricate metalwork and vibrant textiles that seemed to tell stories from every region. You could really feel the history and skill in everything from the elaborate jewelry to the cozy, hand-woven carpets. It was a beautiful, intimate look at the artistic soul of the country.
Collection Highlights
The collection was incredible—imagine rooms filled with stunningly detailed gold and silver filigree jewelry, plus these massive, colorful 'suzani' embroideries. The traditional weapons and armor weren't just artifacts; they were works of art.
Visitor Information
Just a heads-up for anyone planning a visit—I've since learned this specific location is now permanently closed. Definitely check online for any new location or similar collections before you go.
Architecture & Building
It was housed in a classic Tbilisi building with that charming, slightly ornate facade you see around the old city, making the whole experience feel authentically local.
