Just ok

The museum needs some life. It doesn’t offer audio tours and only guided tours (which to me was less than satisfactory, and they only toured one floor and left us!)

Worth it for the prehistoric exhibit!
Interesting museum with a mixed bag of collections. The prehistoric display on evolution was excellent and uniquely set up. Also of great interest was the top floor exhibit on the Soviet occupation of Georgia.

Go for the Georgian Archeological Treasury!
We saw the Georgian Archeological Treasury recommended online, so decided to stop there while visiting Tbilisi. The museum is small, so it will not take you long to visit. Reasonable entrance fee = $5. The highlight is definitely the treasury, filled with amazing, well-preserved artifacts. Many are made of gold, lots of jewelry, all pristine. A real treat and a nice way to spend a couple of hours.

Afterwards, enjoy khinkali at the nearby Zodiaqo (see separate entry).

Really fascinating
Solo
My favorite floor was the first floor with the treasury. The absolutely gorgeous gold jewelry down there really blew my mind. And the fourth floor with the communist past is fascinating. I love finding things that I don’t know about and will now have to read about!

Interesting museum with all general info of Georgia
This museum is a bit of a general museum, where you findmost of the typical things. I was missing the old books though. Not sure where they are.

Must see museum
This is a must see place. This is a unique and interesting museum and one of the best museums I have ever visited. I like the most the archaeological exhibits where you can learn a lot about the biological classifications of the great apes and learn about the human evolution with great evidences belonging to different eras.
Another interesting section exhibits a large number of coins pertaining to very old ages. I was surprised to see coins used in the 6th century BC . The coins exhibit tells interesting stories of the Georgian history . It shows how open Georgia was with other nations and cultures.
There are a lot more to see and read. I suggest you take pictures of the labels of the exhibits you like to read later or keep as references , the information is very valuable (take permission please).
Remember the exhibition is closed on Mondays.
