Another overpriced museum (if a ticket here costs around 10 € or 30 GEL, the Louvre or similar museum should probably sell tickets for 1000 €). There is an area for prehistory, then you move to Georgia/Caucasus biodiversity with stuffed animals and minerals, which is nothing special but ok. At the underground floor they have "the treasury" one part is from the 1800s and is accessible, but if you'd like to view the middle age part you have to pay a supplement (which nobody told me at the ticket counter). But what was most ridiculous for me was at the first floor where they have some artifacts from India or some other oriental culture (?) and an area that they call "Soviet occupation of Georgia" which seems a very unsuccessful way of rewriting history. Maybe for 3 GEL it would be worth a visit.

Typical georgian! Absolutely rude employee in the cloackroom. Ranting (unasked for) about how her boss will thrash her if she let's me in with my micro-backpack and I should shut my mouth and OBEY.
Wonder what she does with Chinese and their HUGE rucksacks.

The museum is not large, but there are many unique exhibits, from the Bronze Age to weapons from different countries, there is a stunning treasure trove with objects from all eras, stuffed animals. But the three-piece design is just signatures in English and Georgian, no description or history, it's not always clear what's in front of you at all. Even where there is some kind of interactive (one room), it is also English and Georgian. Although the main contingent is clear from where, English speakers do not go to museums, especially such ones. In general, the museum is not friendly at all, the staff pretends that they do not understand Russian, they asked to put a small backpack in the storage room, although others went with larger bags. It's not pleasant. Everything in the place made it impossible to enjoy the exposition. I advise you to go only if you want to see something specifically.
