Art Palace of Georgia - Museum of Cultural History, Tbilisi

Art Palace of Georgia - Museum of Cultural History also referred to as Art Palace, is located in Tbilisi. The museum's exhibition halls are open from Tuesday till Sunday (10:30 - 17:30).

Until April 8, 2020, it was called the Georgian State Museum of Theater, Music, Cinema and Choreography. The name was changed according to the resolution of the Government of Georgia.

Georgian Art Palace - Museum of Cultural History is a depository of Georgian cultural objects. The museum is housed in a building in Tbilisi. It was designed by a well-known architect of the time, Paul Stern, and, as an example of historicism, bears traces of Gothic architecture and Islamic architecture.

Georgian Art makes up large part of the collection. Around 10,000 exhibits of over 300 Georgian artists inform us about evolution of Georgian scenic design. The depository of fine arts contains portraits of theater actor and directors, sketches of stage decorations and costumes.
