Tbilisi Archeology Museum

The Tbilisi Archeology museum is one of the most recent buildings of soviet modernist construction in the city. The museum was established in 1988 and offers a selection of monuments found on the territory of Tbilisi. There are more than 10,000 exponents, the most ancient items from this collection being bronze objects found in an old Delisi dwelling, dated as 4,000 years old, which are regarded as the oldest bronze objects in the world. Unfortunately, this museum is currently closed, but its architecture is as significant as its collection. The project by architect Shota Kavlashvili is a mastaba-shaped construction with a very interesting bas-relief on the front façade – an alien in a form of an embryo. The museum is located on the outskirts of Tbilisi, on the hill near the David the builder statue. Buildings blended with rocks, temples of the future, cosmonauts, flying spaceships and aliens. If you are visiting Tbilisi, you should aim to catch at least a glimpse of the soviet modernist architecture of the city, which will surely make a deep impression on you.
