Description
Address: 2 Uznadze Street, Tbilisi, 0190
Opening Days: Daily
Opening Hours: 10:00 AM–6:00 PM
In 1959, Konstantine Tsereteli was granted an apartment at 2 Uznadze Street in Tbilisi through the assistance of the Academy of Sciences. From that time onward, the Tsereteli family lived in this apartment.
The first government resolution concerning the establishment of the museum (No. 06.40.133) dates back to 2003.
In 2011, Soso Tsereteli's mother, Leila Tsereteli, donated her property to the Tbilisi municipal authorities free of charge.
In accordance with Article 36 of the Georgian Law “On the Capital of Georgia — Tbilisi” and Tbilisi Government Resolution No. 07.24.251 of March 28, 2011, an agreement was signed transferring ownership of the apartment to the Tbilisi municipal authority.
The transfer was made on the condition that the Memorial Museum of artist Soso Tsereteli and academician Kote Tsereteli would continue operating.
Museum Collections
The museum preserves materials related to the lives and work of Konstantine Tsereteli, a distinguished Georgian Orientalist and the founder of Hebrew and Aramaic studies in Georgia, as well as the artist Soso Tsereteli.

Location
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.
