Description

The Joseph Stalin State Museum is located in Gori, the city where Stalin was born. The museum complex opened in 1957, following Stalin's death. However, a memorial museum had already been established in his birthplace in 1937, during his lifetime.

The two-story exhibition building, featuring a tower, was designed by architect Archil Kurdiani. Its exterior is clad in Eclar stone, the columns are decorated with carved patterns and ornaments, and the entrance hall is finished in red marble.

The museum complex consists of Stalin's birthplace memorial house, his railway carriage, and a two-story exhibition building. A statue of Stalin created by sculptor Silovan Kakabadze stands in front of the exhibition building.

The museum's collections include personal memorabilia, gifts, paintings, photographic and film documents, and historical materials reflecting the era in which Stalin lived and worked.

The permanent exhibition dedicated to Stalin's life and activities is displayed across six halls.

Hall One focuses on Stalin's life before the revolution and his revolutionary activities.

Hall Two presents the history of the Soviet Union between 1925 and 1940, highlighting Stalin's leadership and the country's development within the context of major historical events.

Hall Three features photographs and documents from World War II. Special sections are dedicated to the Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam conferences. The hall also displays a rare unretouched photograph of Stalin, along with a separate section devoted to his personal life.

Hall Four houses the sixth bronze cast of Stalin's death mask, created by the renowned sculptor M. Manizer. The mask is displayed between marble columns. The hall also features the painting “I. V. Stalin in His Coffin” by Ucha Japaridze, a People's Artist of the USSR.

Hall Five is entirely dedicated to gifts presented to Stalin.

Hall Six displays Stalin's first working office, which he used between 1918 and 1922, together with his personal belongings and memorabilia.

A separate room is dedicated to the period of political repression. The Repression Room has been part of the museum since 2010.

The museum complex covers a total area of 3,529.7 m² and currently holds more than 40,000 exhibits, including historical documents, paintings, and supplementary museum materials.

The museum also operates an internal scientific research library. A significant portion of its collection was transferred from the Moscow Museum of History and Revolution.

Location

Tbilisi
Tbilisi is the capital and the largest city of Georgia, lying on the banks of the Kura River with a population of around 1.2 million people. Tbilisi was founded in the fifth century AD by Vakhtang I of Iberia, and since then has served as the capital of various Georgian kingdoms and republics. Because of its location at the crossroads between Europe and Asia, and its proximity to the lucrative Silk Road, throughout history, Tbilisi has been a point of contention among various global powers. To this day, the city's location ensures its position as an important transit route for energy and trade projects. Tbilisi's history is reflected in its architecture, which is a mix of medieval, neoclassical, Beaux Arts, Art Nouveau, Stalinist, and Modern structures. Historically, Tbilisi has been home to people of multiple cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, though its population is overwhelmingly Eastern Orthodox Christian.
