Exhibition of Works by Vasily Shukhaev

The National Museum of Georgia was founded in 2004 on the basis of the decree of the President of Georgia. He is the legal heir of the "Museum of the Caucasus" founded in Tbilisi in 1852 and the continuation of the country's long museum traditions. With its establishment, structural, institutional and legislative reforms in the field of cultural heritage protection began. The purpose of creating the union was to gather the largest part of the moving monuments of cultural heritage, significant intellectual and scientific-research potential. For the effective management of national treasures, the museum has introduced a unified management system, a unified scientific and information base, and defined museum policy. The unified network of museums included in the union has an interdisciplinary form of scientific-research, restoration-conservation, exhibition and educational activities. The National Museum cooperates at the local and international level with other institutions in the field of education and culture, the state and private sector and thus ensures the fruitful activity of the National Museum of Georgia. The institutional development of the National Museum is supported by UNESCO, the European Union and other international organizations.
