MoMA Tbilisi

A must-visit place in Tbilisi! The Zurab Tsereteli Museum of Modern Art beautifully combines contemporary creativity with Georgian cultural heritage. I visited during a special exhibition dedicated to Sukhishvilebi, and it was absolutely fascinating — a modern interpretation of the legendary dance ensemble’s history. The mix of archival materials, costumes, and contemporary art created a powerful, emotional atmosphere. The museum itself is bright, well-organized, and easy to explore. Each hall gives the artworks space to shine, and the staff are friendly and helpful. It’s the perfect place to spend a cultural afternoon and discover both international and local art in a modern setting. Highly recommended for art lovers and anyone curious about Georgia’s vibrant culture!

It cost 20GEL to visit, the expositions are on floors 2 & 3, reachable by elevator if needed. Many great statues and paintings. There's also a small photo exposition. Lots of seating for viewing and relaxing. It takes about 30 minutes to see everything. I liked it and I recommend it.

We visited during the Zurab Tsereteli exhibition, and honestly, it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. 🎨 We had already seen his monumental work Chronicles of Georgia earlier that week, so walking into this space and seeing his more intimate, expressive pieces created a really powerful contrast. It felt like seeing two sides of the same artist — the epic and the emotional. From massive bronze sculptures to vibrant, chaotic canvases, the variety was surprising and kept us fully engaged. 🧠❤️ The museum itself is very clean, calm, and easy to navigate. Not too big, not too crowded — just enough to take your time and enjoy what’s in front of you. Also, the staff was super kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. 🙌 Definitely recommend visiting, especially if you’ve seen Chronicles of Georgia — it adds a whole new layer of appreciation.

Such a peaceful and inspiring place! Every piece has its own story. I really enjoyed my time here

Better than other museums I visited during my stay in Tbilisi, this one is well maintained and exceptionally curated.

Excellent museum to visit when you have already been to the big two museums down the street. The people that work here are nice. There are three floors of Art. The entrance fee is still 20 GEL, which I believe is acceptable.

Great experience! Tickets are expensive though 20 lari, seems slightly overpriced as it’s not a huge museum.

The MoMA presents the work of Georgian artist Zurab Tsereteli. He helped found the museum. Most paintings I saw were from the last 25 years. As of this writing he is alive and living in Russia. An artist friend would describe his current works as having a hot palette. There are some enjoyable bronze and copper pieces, too. There’s a serigraphy exhibition. It appears to be temporary. A plus, there are multiple places to sit and reflect. I've given the museum 5 stars but if I had limited time to visit only one art museum, I'd go to the Museum of Fine Arts. More artists and exhibitions covering a broad period.
